The Church of St David is a parish church in Llanddewi Rhydderch, Monmouthshire, Wales, with origins in the 12th century; the tower base may date from this time. The fabric of the current building is 14th–15th century in date, with a Victorian restoration by John Pollard Seddon in 1862 and 1863. It remains an active parish church.

The origins of the building are Norman, with the base of the tower,^[1] and some of its lancet windows appearing to date from this time.^[2] The body of the church is later, of the 14th and 15th centuries. J. P. Seddon undertook a sensitive restoration in 1862–63.^[1] There have been few alterations since this time and the church remains an active church in the parish of Llanddewi Rhydderch.^[3]

The church is built of Old Red Sandstone. The building comprises a nave, chancel, porch and a tower with a "pyramidal cap of "typical Border design".^[2] The church is a Grade II* listed building, its listing record describing it as a "medieval church sensitively restored".^[1]
