Sandbank Parish Church is a former Church of Scotland church building in Sandbank, Argyll, Scotland. Completed in 1868, it was designated a Category C listed building in 2007. [1] It stands on the A885 high road between Sandbank and Dunoon. [2]

According to Francis Hindes Groomes' Gazetteer of Scotland , the church was built as a chapel of ease. Its stained-glass windows were moved here from the congregational church in 1936. [1]

Its congregation merged with that of Kirn Parish Church in 2017, becoming Kirn & Sandbank Parish Church, and its church building was put on the market. [3]
