The Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Averham is a parish church in the Church of England in Averham, Nottinghamshire. The church is Grade I listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest.

The style of masonry in parts of the tower, nave and chancel prove that the structure is of Norman date though the tower arch is later. Also added later were the buttresses and pinnacles of the tower and the south porch (containing letters and shields referring to Sir Thomas Sutton, died 1525, and his wife). There is a fine east window in the chancel and the screen is simple early Perpendicular.

The north window contains some fragments of glass found in Kelham Hall and put together by Frederick Heathcote Sutton, rector of St. Helen's Church, Brant Broughton in Lincolnshire. Additionally, there is some late Victorian stained glass by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.

There is a wall monument to Robert Sutton, 1st Baron Lexinton who died in 1668. There are also two medieval memorials, a foliated cross and an effigy of a layman (poorly preserved).

The church was the site of inspiration for the fourth movement of T.S Eliot's poem Burnt Norton, part of his Four Quartets.

Averham's St. Michael and All Angels church lays claim to being the oldest church in Nottinghamshire.

It has a history dating to the pre-Conquest era, with evidence pointing to a tower or western annexe built around 1000 AD. The church features counter-pitched masonry common in Anglo-Saxon and Norman periods, and the nave and chancel were rebuilt around 1100-1125. Notable later additions include a 14th-century chancel lengthening, a 15th-century south porch, and a converted 18th-century mausoleum that became an organ chamber in 1875. The church is also known for its historic monuments, including the earliest known alabaster effigy of a man in civilian dress from 1369.
