All Saints Church is a ruined Church of England parish church in Sockburn, County Durham, England.[1] A Grade I listed building, the church has pre- and post-Conquest mediaeval aspects,[1] and is linked to the legends of the Sockburn Worm.

The church was in use until 1838, when it was replaced by All Saints' Church, Girsby, across the River Tees.[2]
