All Saints' Church is a Church of England parish church on North Street, York, North Yorkshire. The church is a Grade I listed building.

The earliest part of the church is the nave dating from the 12th century. The arcades date from the 13th century and the east end was rebuilt in the 14th century, when the chancel chapels were added.

An anchorite building was erected at the west end in the fifteenth century and a squint made through the wall so that Dame Emma Raughton could observe and hear the mass being said. This was rebuilt in 1910.

The church was restored between 1866 and 1867 by JB and W Atkinson of York, which included the rebuilding of the south aisle wall, the addition of a porch and a vestry, half of the roof being replaced, new seating provided throughout, the pillars and walls scraped, and a new organ provided The masonry work was done by Mr. Brumby of Skeldergate, the carpentry by Mr. Dennison, the plumbing and glazing by Messrs. Hodgson and the painting by Mr. Lee of Gillygate. The chancel ceiling and reredos were decorated by Mr. Knowles. The chancel was laid with Minton tiles. The total cost of the restoration, including the new organ, was £1,500 (equivalent to £119,782 in 2015).

The pulpit dates from 1675.

The chancel screen was installed in 1906, and designed by Edwin Ridsdale Tate. he also rebuilt the anchorites house in 1910. The church was restored again in 1991 by the architect Peter Marshall.
