Heritage listing
St Moluag's Church (Scottish Gaelic: Teampall MoLuaidh) is a church in the village of Eoropie (Scottish Gaelic: Eòrapaidh) in Ness in the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. It is one of the busiest visitor attractions in Ness, due to historical importance and because it is easily accessible from the road along a footpath. Various sources attribute its construction to between the 12th and 16th centuries and small scale excavations in the 1970s did not provided any evidence on its date. The church has a basic T-shaped structure, with two small chapels on either side of the main body of the church. The southern chapel can only be accessed from outside. Outside is a war memorial in the form of a Celtic cross.

The church has a basic T-shaped structure, with two small chapels on either side of the main body of the church. The southern chapel can only be accessed from outside. Outside is a war memorial in the form of a Celtic cross. The church was roofless and used as a shelter for sheep before it was restored in 1911–12; the work was supervised by James Smith Richardson. The pulpit, altar and font are from 1911. The church is now in use as a Scottish Episcopal Church. Regular services were revived in 1994. A lack of heating and lighting means alternative premises in Tong are used during the winter. The church is traditionally considered to be the MacLeods’ church.
