St Andrew's Church, Newcastle upon Tyne is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England[1] in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, England.
The church dates from the 12th century, but is mainly of 13th and 14th century construction. The porch was re-fronted in 1726. Other restoration work was undertaken in 1866 by Fowler.
A large section of the medieval Newcastle town wall still survives immediately to the north of the church, and the imposing New Gate in the city wall stood close by to the east until its demolition in 1823. Newgate Street to which it gave its name still runs past the east end of the church.
