St Andrew's Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian church at Raglan Street, Manly, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The foundation stone for the church was laid in 1889.[2] Designed by Sir John Sulman, the church is recognized as being one of the best examples of the Romanesque building style in Australia.[3] The church was never completed due to a lack of funds. In 1960 using funds raised by the parishioners and a Government Grant work commenced on completing the church. A temporary north facing wall was removed and the church was completed by adding a new pulpit, altar, choir loft and vestry.
