St George and St Mary’s Church, Church Gresley is a Grade II* listedparish church in the Church of England in Church Gresley, Derbyshire.

The church dates from 1100 and incorporates the remains of the nave of a small Augustinian Priory, Gresley Priory.

The church was ruinous and restored in 1786. In 1872 a new chancel was added by Arthur Blomfield and all the seats were turned to face eastwards. In May 1932 the church was closed for 2 years because of the dangerous state of the ceiling. It re-opened in July 1934 after restoration.

The pipe organ was installed by Forster and Andrews in 1860. It was later modified by S Taylor in 1888, H Cantrill in 1960 and Henry Groves & Son in 2000. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
