St Giles' Church, Goodrich, Herefordshire, England is an Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Hereford. The church dates from the 13th century, although almost all of the current building is of the 14th century, or from the 19th century restoration. It is an active parish church and a Grade II* listed building.

The church's origins are of the 13th century. The church was developed, along with the village of Goodrich, in parallel with the expansion of Goodrich Castle by Godric of Mappestone and subsequently the powerful de Clare family. The tower dates from the 14th century. During the English Civil War the vicar was Thomas Swift, grandfather of Jonathon Swift, whose strongly Royalist sympathies led the family to relocate to Ireland. The building was heavily restored by John Pollard Seddon from 1870. St Giles remains an active parish church in the benefice of Goodrich and Welsh Bicknor.
