The Church of St Mary at Charlynch in the parish of Spaxton, Somerset, England was an Anglican Parish Church, but has now been deconsecrated. It dates from the 11th century with a tower probably of 1867. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

The building included a nave with a south porch and a transeptal south chapel. The chancel had the vestry and organ chamber attached. The three-stage west tower was added in the 19th century. The is some 15th century stained glass in the transept. The Norman church included a doorway and chancel arch considered Romanesque. The font is from a similar period.

The church contains monuments and tablets to the family of Admiral Robert Blake. After deconsecration in 1981 the altar was moved to the Church of St Margaret, Spaxton. Since 1986 the church has been converted into a private residence.
