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

There has been a church on the site since the Saxon period, and the sundial set above the main doorway is from this period. It is inscribed "Orologicum viatorium. Lodan me wrohte a". The oldest part of the current building is the 13th-century nave. The chancel was rebuilt in the 18th century, and there were further alterations when it was restored by C. Hodgson Fowler from 1898 to 1899. The church was grade II* listed in 1955. [1] [2]
