Duff Memorial Church is a former church building in Kirkmichael, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It was built in 1890, replacing Kirkmichael Free Church of Scotland. [3]

The church is named for Alexander Duff (1806–1878), Scotland's first missionary to India. [4]

The last church service was held in 1955, [5] two years before its closure. [6]
