All Saints Church, Farnborough is a Grade I listed Church of England parish church in Farnborough, Berkshire, England.

All Saints Church dates to the 11th century, with its surviving Norman nave and north doorway constructed of flint with Bath stone dressings and partial rendering. The Perpendicular Gothic west tower, probably raised in the 15th century, has three stages, diagonal buttresses, an embattled parapet, and a stair turret at its junction with the nave.[1] A independently Grade II-listed base of a medieval churchyard cross stands approximately five metres south of the south door.[2][3]

The church was restored 1883–1885, when a south porch was added, new chancel windows were inserted, the chancel arch widened (with supporting buttresses), and the roof renewed.[1]
