Kirk of Calder is a medieval church in Mid Calder, West Lothian. It is listed as a Category A building by Historic Environment Scotland. The church is of Ashlar stone in a Gothic style. The present Kirk dates from 1541 but was built on the site of an earlier 12th century church.
The church was originally intended to be far larger. It was begun in 1541 by Peter Sandilands, laird of the adjacent Calder House, but only the choir from the original design was built by the time his nephew Sir John Sandilands "completed" the project in 1545. The west section of nave and entrance is absent. The belfry and transept was built in 1863 on the correct north-south axis, but the entrance is uniquely located in a small door at the re-entrant angle between the south transept and the choir.
