St Chad's Church, Tushingham
 
St Chad's is located on Chester Road in the civil parish of Tushingham cum Grindley, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Malpas, the archdeaconry of Chester, and the diocese of Chester.

The church is constructed in red sandstone with grey slate roofs. Its plan is cruciform, and consists of a three-bay nave with a south porch, single-bay transepts, a two-bay chancel, a sancristy in the corner of the chancel and the north transept, and a west tower. The tower has three stages in Perpendicular style, with an octagonal northwest stair turret, and a crenelated parepet. In the bottom stage is a three-light west window and a statue of St Chad in a niche single-light trefoil-headed windows on the north and south sides of the middle stage, and two-light bell openings in the top stage. The body of the church is in Early English style with lancet windows.

The interior of the church is plastered, with dressings in stone. The west tower acts as a baptistry and contains an octagonal font. The stained glass in the west window (dated 1897) and in the north transept (dated 1904) is by Kemp. There is a ring of six bells.
