St Nicholas' Church is a Church of England church in Broadwey, Dorset, England.[1] It has Norman origins, but most of the existing church dates from 19th century work.[2] St Nicholas' was the parish church of Broadwey until 1933 when the village became a suburb of Weymouth.[3]

The church became Grade II listed in 1953.[2] A number of 19th century chest tombs and headstones in the churchyard are also Grade II listed, including those of the Firth, Melchior, Beale, Bartlett and Nicholson families.[4][5][6][7][8] A World War I memorial is also located in the churchyard.[9]
