St Mary's Church is the parish church of Myton-on-Swale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The church was built in the early 13th century, and was altered in the 15th century, when some of the windows were replaced. The building was restored by C. Hodgson Fowler in 1886, when the tower and porch were added, and the roof was replaced. The church was grade II* listed in 1960. [1] [2]
