St Mary Magdalene, Richmond, in the Anglican Diocese of Southwark, is a Grade II* listed[3] parish church on Paradise Road, Richmond, London. The church, dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene, was built in the early 16th century but has been greatly altered so that, apart from the tower, the visible parts of the church date from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.[4]

Since 1996 St Mary Magdalene's has been part of the Richmond Team Ministry, which also includes the churches of St John the Divine and St Matthias.[5] It has a strong musical tradition and offers choral services each Sunday.[6]
