St John the Evangelist's Church is in Hollow Lane, Kingsley, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Frodsham, the archdeaconry of Chester, and the diocese of Chester. Its benefice is united with those of Christ Church, Crowton, and St John the Evangelist, Norley. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It was a Commissioners' church, having received a grant towards its construction from the Church Building Commission.
The church was built in 1849–50 to a design by George Gilbert Scott. A grant of £150 (equivalent to £10,000 in 2015) was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission.
St John's is constructed in red sandstone rubble, and has grey slate roofs. Its architectural style is that of the late 13th century. The plan consists of a nave with a south porch and a short north aisle, a chancel with a north sacristy, and a west tower with a spire. The tower is embraced by two chambers that are not part of the aisle. The tower rises for a single stage above the nave; it has angle buttresses, triangular bell openings with tracery consisting of three circles, and a corbel table. The spire is splay-footed, with lucarnes on the cardinal sides, and clock faces on three of the oblique sides. The windows are lancets containing Geometric tracery.
