St Eloy's Church is an Anglican church in Great Smeaton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

There was a church in Great Smeaton at the time of the Domesday Book, and the font is from this period. The oldest part of the current building is the nave, dating from the 13th and 15th centuries. The remainder of the church was rebuilt in 1862 by G. E. Street. It was grade II listed in 1970. [1] [2] It is the only church in England dedicated to Saint Eloy. [3]
