The Church of St Andrew in Cheddar, Somerset, England dates from the 14th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

The church was restored in 1873 by William Butterfield. It contains some 15th-century stained glass and an altar table of 1631. The chest tomb in the chancel is believed to be to Sir Thomas Cheddar and is dated 1442.

The tower, which rises to 100 feet (30 m), and dates from around 1423, contains a bell dating from 1759 and made by Thomas Bilbie of the Bilbie family.

St Andrew's is the Church of England parish church for Cheddar. The vicar is The Reverend Sue Rose, who was licensed as priest-in-charge in April 2009.
