St Mary Magdalene's Church is a former Anglican church in the grounds of Croome Court, at Croome D'Abitot, Worcestershire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] and is under the care of The Churches Conservation Trust.[2] The church, which is dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene, stands on a hill in Croome Park.[3] Commenting on the church, the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner stated it is "one of the most serious of the Early Gothic Revival outside, one of the most elegant inside".[1]

The 2015 short war drama film Our Father was partially filmed on location at St Mary Magdalene's Church.
