St Saviour Church in Richmond Hill, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England is an active Anglican parish church in the archdeaconry of Leeds and the Diocese of Leeds.
The church was built between 1842 and 1845 to designs by architect John Macduff Derick. The church was anonymously funded by Dr. Pusey, Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, a leading advocate of the Oxford Movement. A tall spire, modelled on the spire of St. Mary's, Oxford and pinnacles along the eaves were not built. The building was grade I listed on 26 September 1963.
The parish stands in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England. As the parish rejects the ordination of women, it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Wakefield (currently Tony Robinson).
The church is built in a Gothic revival style of dressed stone with ashlar dressings. It has a central tower. The church has four five-light windows described by Pevsner as being 'of great merit, in the style of the 13th century and in glowing colour, nothing yet of Victorian insipidity'.
