The Church of Our Lady of Egmanton is a parish church in the Church of England in Egmanton, Nottinghamshire.

The church is Grade I listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest.

Parts of the church date back to Anglo-Saxon times. A restoration by Ninian Comper in 1896 to 1898 preserved the building but also introduced several fine features which create the distinctive interior. These include the organ case modelled on the one in the cathedral at Freiburg im Breisgau, the pulpit modelled on that in Ghent. The stained glass windows are also by Ninian Comper.

The shrine of Our Lady of Egmanton is within the parish church. The origin of the shrine is unknown, but it is likely to have been suppressed at the Reformation. Modern pilgrimages to it were restarted in 1929.

The organ case is by Ninian Comper. The console is on the rood screen. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
