St John's Kirk, also known as St Winnock's Church and, colloquially, Auld Simon (Old Simon),[1] is a former church building in Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire, Scotland. It dates to 1729, and is now Category B listed.[1] Only the southwest gable and a single bay of the structure remains, the rest likely torn down around the date the new church was constructed in 1808.[1]

The church is surrounded by a walled cemetery, which is also part of the listing.[1]
