St Matthias Church is a Grade II listed Anglican church in Richmond, London, built in 1857 in the Victorian Gothic style by the eminent architect George Gilbert Scott. Located at the top of Richmond Hill at the intersection of Friars Stile Road, Kings Road, and Church Road, the church is described by architectural historians Bridget Cherry and Nikolaus Pevsner as "the grandest church in Richmond." Its 195-foot spire serves as a distinctive landmark visible for miles across the landscape. The church, dedicated to Saint Matthias, underwent renovation in the 1970s by the architectural firm Hutchison, Locke & Monk, and remains part of the Richmond Team Ministry alongside the churches of St John the Divine and St Mary Magdalene.
