St Mary Magdalene is a Church of England parish church in the town of Yarm, in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees, North Yorkshire, England, which is dedicated to Jesus' companion Mary Magdalene. Administratively, it is a parish of the Diocese of York. The current rector is the Reverend Darren Moore.
The current church building is the third to stand on the site. The first was a wooden Anglo-Saxon building of which no traces remain. A Norman church was built in the late 12th century and remained until 1728 when it razed by fire. The present Georgian church was built from the remains of the second in 1730.
