St Matthew's Church is a heritage listed Anglican church in Marryatville, an inner eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It was established in 1848 and consecrated in 1849. It is adjacent to Marryatville High School.

History
The land for the church was donated in 1848 by the South Australia Company, who received it from George Brunskill. The church was consecrated on 21 September 1849.

Percy Grainger's parents, architect John Harry Grainger and Rose Annie Aldridge, daughter of a local hotel-keeper, were married in St Matthew's in 1880, and Percy's funeral was conducted there after his body was flown back from the United States in 1961.

The church was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate on 21 March 1978.

Grace Anglican Network

The church communities described themselves as "gospel-centred" and evangelical in theological stance. , "St Bart's Norwood" makes no mention of St Matthew's on its website, but says it is transitioning to a new ministry team.
