The Church of St Edith is a grade I listed Anglican church in the village of Bishop Wilton, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Although partly Norman, most of the church dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries, and it was extensively restored in the nineteenth century to a Gothic design by John Loughborough Pearson with funds provided by Sir Tatton Sykes. The church's spire is notable as a local landmark, and the Norman doorway on the south side is decorated with carvings that have been the subject of much study. The church is part of the Sykes Churches Trail, which extends throughout the eastern part of Yorkshire.
