St Gregory's Minster is an Anglo-Saxon church with a rare sundial, in Kirkdale near Kirkbymoorside, Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building.

The minster was built c. 1060 on the site of an earlier church, and is dedicated to St Gregory, who was Pope 590–604.

The nearby Kirkdale Cave was found in 1821 to contain a collection of ancient animal bones including the most northerly hippopotamus remains in the world.
