St Anne's Church (originally known as St Mary Westout) is a Church of England parish church in Lewes, the county town of East Sussex, England. One of several ancient churches surviving in the town, it retains fabric from the Norman era despite a restoration in 1889, and is the only church in the town in which a substantial amount of Norman work survives. The church is built of flint and stone with a roof of Horsham Stone tiles, and has a chancel, aisled nave and west tower with a short spire. It is listed at Grade I for its architectural and historical importance.
