St Mary's Church, also known as Ladykirk Parish Church, is a church in the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. It is located in the Scottish hamlet of Ladykirk in the Scottish Borders. In 1971, the building was included in the Scottish Monument Lists in the highest monument category A.
It is possible that the Scottish King James IV had the church built after he returned from a successful campaign against England in 1497. On the nearby Norham Bridge, James is said to have fallen from his horse and, out of gratitude for not drowning, decreed a church dedicated to Saint Mary. St Mary's Church is often identified with the Kirk of Steill, for which editions can be found in the royal books in 1500, the year of the church's construction. Since skeletons were found in the ground below the building, it is assumed that there was a predecessor structure at the site.
