St Alkmund's Church is an active Anglican parish church in Whitchurch, Shropshire, England. By tradition, this church was founded in the 900s CE by the Anglo-Saxon Queen Æthelflæd ('Lady of the Mercians' and daughter of Alfred the Great). Certain sources suggest that the saint to whom it is dedicated, St Alkmund, (the son of Alhred, King of Northumbria (d. c. 800), was first buried in Whitchurch. It is in the diocese of Lichfield, the archdeaconry of Salop and the deanery of Wem and Whitchurch. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England which has designated it a Grade I listed building. It stands at an elevated position in the centre of the town.
