The church of St Kentigern, Crosthwaite, is just outside Keswick in the northern Lake District. Historically the Parish Church of Crosthwaite parish in Cumberland, it is located in the current civil parish of Great Crosthwaite, in the district of Allerdale. (Please do not confuse this church with the unrelated Crosthwaite church in South Lakeland district, 30 miles to the south.)

There has likely been a church on this site since 553 AD, though there are no surviving records of that church or the one after it. A stone church was built in the late 1100s whose foundations still exist. There have been numerous extensions and restorations over the years since then. The church is currently a Grade II listed building.
