The Church of Saint Winwaloe, is the Grade I listedparish church of Gunwalloe in Cornwall, England.

The church is in the Church of England Diocese of Truro and is dedicated to Saint Winwaloe. It is likely to have been standing since at least the 15th century due to its characteristic three hall church design, although some parts can be dated back to the 13th century, and one of the fonts is believed to be Norman.

The church has a detached bell tower, similar to those at Feock and Gwennap, which may date from before the 15th century. The bell tower uses a set of six batons laid out similar to piano keys, and three medieval bells. These were recast in 1926.

The church is in a joint parish with St Corentine’s Church, Cury. The Rev. Sandys Wason was perpetual curate of both Cury and Gunwalloe from 1905 to 1920.
