St James's Church, Manorbier is a Grade I-listed parish church in Manorbier, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The church dates from the 12th century, and has been considerably altered over the years, though medieval ceiling paintings in the porch survive. The church has a slender tower of the local type and a bellcote. The chancel was built in about 1250 on older foundations with the transepts added in the same period.{{cite web|title=British Listed Buildings: St James' Church, Manorbier|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-5975-st-james-church-manorbier|accessdate=28 March 2016}}{{National Historic Assets of Wales|num=5975 |desc=St James's Church, Manorbier |grade=I |access-date=30 July 2019 }}
