St. Mary's Church is a Church in Wales parish church in the village of Glyntaff, near Pontypridd, South Wales. It is part of the Parish of Glyntaff, Rhydyfelin and The Graig.
The church was built by the architect T. H. Wyatt of London. He employed architectural practices that were later used in his work on St. Mary and St. Nicholas parish church in Wilton, Wiltshire. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners gave a grant of £414. The rest of the cost was borne by local worthies. The tower originally had a pyramidal cap, which fell victim to a storm in 1913. A new vestry was added in 1922. The church has a memorial to the First World War, located in the porch.
The church is located near the A470 main road. The nearest rail connection is at Treforest.
The church became Grade II listed in 2001.
