All Saints' Church is a heritage-listed Anglican church located in Dunedin, New Zealand. Established in 1865, the church is part of the Dunedin North parish in the Diocese of Dunedin. The church building has a Category I listing with the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.

The parish lies within the takiwā/territory of Kāti Huirapa ki Puketeraki of Karitane, of the Kai Tahu tribe. The parish is made up of the former parish of All Saints and the former parish of St. Martin's North East Valley. The parish area includes North East Valley, Pine Hill, North Dunedin, Ravensbourne and Leith Valley.

The building is the oldest church still used as a place of worship in Dunedin. All Saints' Church is the chapel of Selwyn College, Otago. The college was built around the church and the college and parish have a close relationship. Selwyn College was built as an Anglican theological college in 1893, from the beginning it also housed non-theological students from the university. All Saints' is located close to the University of Otago.

The nave of the church was designed by William H. Clayton and built by James Gore in 1865; the transepts and chancel, designed by William Mason were added in 1873. All Saints' is an example of gothic revival architecture. A notable architectural feature is the polychrome brickwork. The bricks came from the brickworks in Filleul Street, Dunedin. Also used in the building is Oamaru stone, an early use of the stone in Dunedin. In 1969, All Saints' Church was restored, in which the foundations, hardwood floor, and slate roof were replaced. At this time a nave altar was installed with altar rails designed by Ted McCoy.
