St Andrew's Church is a congregation of the Church of Scotland standing on Governor’s Parade in Gibraltar. It is the Kirk’s only church in the territory, and is part of the Presbytery of Europe.
The church was opened in 1854, originally built primarily to serve as a garrison church for Scots soldiers based in Gibraltar. Today though it serves the wider Presbyterian and Reformed Christian community of all nationalities.
As with any congregation of the Church of Scotland, the church is run by a committee of elders. Until 2008, the church shared its ministers with the Costa del Sol congregation in Spain.
The church stands on Governor's Parade, a small square which it shares with the Garrison Library, the O'Callaghan Eliott Hotel and the previous location of the Gibraltar Chronicle.
