St Andrew's Churchwas a congregation of theChurch of Scotlandin theBritish overseas territoryofGibraltarand was part of thePresbytery of Europe.The church was opened in 1854. Whilst originally built primarily to serve as a garrison church for Scottish soldiers based in Gibraltar,it served the wider Presbyterian and Reformed Christian community of all nationalities.

The church was run by a committee of elders. Until 2008, the church shared its ministers with the Costa del Sol congregation in Spain.[1]As of June 2009, and until the Church's closure in December 2022, the church's minister wasRev.Ewen Maclean.

The church is located on Governor's Parade, a small square which they share with theGarrison Library,the O'Callaghan Eliott Hotel and the previous location of theGibraltar Chronicle.
