St Oswald's Church is the parish church of Arncliffe, North Yorkshire, in England.
The oldest part of the church is the tower, which was constructed in the 15th century. The remainder of the church was demolished and rebuilt in 1805. The church was restored in 1841, and the chancel was rebuilt in 1843, all this work being by Anthony Salvin. In 1958, the church was Grade II listed.[1][2]
