St. Swithun's is a Church of England church in East Grinstead, West Sussex, England, which is a Grade II* listed building.
The site had a church since the 11th century. It was struck by lightning in 1772 and after it was rebuilt by James Wyatt it was opened in 1789. It is situated on a hill-top site near entrance to town, where in the past several tracks met. The area began to be settled in the late tenth century: and St Swithun (Bishop of Winchester, 852-862) was the choice for church patron. To this day it remains a visible landmark.
