Our Lady and St Benedict's Church is a Catholic parish church in Ampleforth, a village in North Yorkshire, England. It was built by Ampleforth Abbey to serve the local community. Originally the building had a continuous nave and chancel with a sacristy behind it and was dedicated on 17 May 1907. In 1988 it was reordered and extended, adding transepts and two low towers on the north and south sides. The church is built in the Gothic Revival style from local stone with a slate roof; the towers have louvered upper stages and pyramidal roofs. The main entrance is through a porch in the north tower.

Inside there is a large painting above the original high altar showing Christ, Mary and various saints, painted in 1916 by a novice at the abbey. Several original furnishings survive, including doors, pews, panelling, a reredos and an oak lectern by Robert Thompson. An oak screen near the west end forms a narthex. The chancel has two stained-glass windows designed in 1933 by Morris Meredith Williams. In the churchyard is a wooden cross made by Thompson in 1919. The church remains a functioning parish church.
