St. John's Renfield Church is a parish church of the Church of Scotland, serving Kelvindale in the west end of Glasgow, Scotland. The church building is situated in Beaconsfield Road, Kelvindale.

The church was designed in a Gothic revival style by the architect James Taylor Thomson. He won the competition to design the church in 1927; it was built between 1929 and 1930. The church was dedicated in January 1931; Thomson's wedding took place in the church later in the same year. The church also includes elaborate oak carvings and stained glass by Douglas Strachan and Gordon Webster. Thomson was also involved in designing the chapel of the University of Glasgow.

The congregation is currently without a permanent minister.
