The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade I listed church in Kensworth, Bedfordshire, England. It became a listed building on 3 February 1967.[1]

The church itself was mainly built in the early 1100s.[2] Both the tower and the chancel were built later in the 15th century. The tower was later rough-cast rendered in 1747, as indicated by a plaque on the tower's south face. The church originally had a flat roof which was rebuilt in 1854.[3]

The parish in which the church is located was situated in Hertfordshire until it was transferred to Bedfordshire in 1897.[4]
