St Mary's in the Wood Church is a redundant and former United Reformed Church place of worship in Morley, West Yorkshire, England. It was built in 1876-78 on the site of a medieval church.[1] The former church is situated on Troy Road and Commercial Street north of the town.

The church became redundant in the late 20th century and sat derelict until 2010, when a fire destroyed large parts of the church, leaving only the spire and burnt out parts of the former building remaining.[2] The church congregation is still active although meeting at a new place of worship on Commercial Street further south of the old church in a chapel.[3]
