The Church of St Mary and St Nicholas is a Church of England parish church in Littlemore, Oxford, Oxfordshire. The church is a grade II* listed building. The church was founded by John Henry Newman, later Cardinal Newman of the Roman Catholic Church, and it became a centre of Anglo-Catholicism.

The church was built from 1835 to 1836 by H. J. Underwood for John Henry Newman (later Cardinal Newman of the Roman Catholic Church). The foundation stone was laid in 1835 by Jemima, mother of Newman, and the church was consecrated on 22 September 1836. In 1848, the chancel and tower where added by Joseph Clarke.

The church had originally been built as a chapel of ease in the parish of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford. In 1847, Littlemore became its own parish and the chapel was renamed the Church of St Mary and St Nicholas.

A new east window was added to the church in approximately 1900. The stained glass had been designed by Louis Davis and was in memory of Vernon Green, a former vicar.

On 18 Jul-y 1963, the church was designated a grade II* listed building.

The parish of Littlemore is in the Archdeaconry of Oxford of the Diocese of Oxford.
