St Andrew's Church, Oxford is an evangelical, bible-teaching Church of England parish church in Oxford, England. It was consecrated in 1907 and is located on the southeast corner of Linton Road and Northmoor Road in the suburb of North Oxford.
The church was established during the period of suburban expansion around Oxford which saw, among others, the residential neighbourhood of North Oxford being built. The vision of the founders of the church was to create an evangelical, Bible-believing church between Carfax and the northern ring road. Land for the parish was eventually carved out of part of the parishes of Ss Philip & James (on , now the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies) and that of St Giles.
St Andrew's has now for over a hundred years served as the parish church to the eastern half of this area, from Banbury Road in the west to the River Cherwell in the east and from Park Town in the south to Marston Road in the north. Other members of the church congregation are drawn from a wider area; from other parts of Oxford and surrounding villages.
The Bishop's House, home of the Bishop of Oxford, is located within the parish.
The building was designed by A.R.G. Fenning (1855–1937). It is in a neo-Norman style with four bays and two aisles alongside the large clerestoried nave. The chancel is a semi-circular apse with stained glass windows of biblical scenes. A west gallery augments the seating capacity, above which is the west rose window, a stylised version of which is used as the church logo. Some original plans for the building included a large campanile tower, but no money was available for it. There is a small bellcote on the south-west side.
