St Nicholas' Church is the parish church of Askham Bryan, near York in England, and is a Grade I listed building.

The church was constructed in the 12th-century, while the parish was in the possession of William de Tykhill. It is in the Norman style, constructed with a mixture of limestone ashlar, sandstone rubble, and some reused Roman bricks. The nave and chancel form a single space, while there is a porch to the south, and a vestry to the north. There is a single round-arched window at the west end, and three smaller similar windows in each of the north and south walls, and also in the east end, which has a round window above.{{NHLE|desc=Church of St Nicholas |num=1132520 |access-date=23 September 2021}}{{cite book |last1=Bottomley |first1=Frank |title=Yorkshire Churches |date=1993 |publisher=Alan Sutton |isbn=9780750903448 |page=78}}{{cite web |title=Church of England, Askham Bryan, St. Nicholas, parish |url=https://borthcat.york.ac.uk/index.php/church-of-england-askham-bryan-st-nicholas-parish |website=Borthwick Catalogue |publisher=University of York |access-date=23 September 2021}}
