St John the Evangelist's Church is an Anglican church in Buttercrambe, a village in North Yorkshire in England.

The church lies in a grassy churchyard, south of the village's Main Street. [1] It was originally constructed around 1240, with a four-bay nave, south aisle and chancel. [2] Since at least 1404, the church has been a chapel of ease to St Botolph's Church, Bossall. [3] In the 15th century, the nave was shortened, the aisle removed, and the chancel rebuilt. The church was altered in 1803, and then heavily restored between 1878 and 1881. [4] The architect is unclear, but may have been C. Hodgson Fowler or Temple Moore. [2] The building was Grade II* listed in 1953. [4]
