List of Church of Scotland parishes

The Church of Scotland, the national church of Scotland, divides the country into Presbyteries, which in turn are subdivided into Parishes, each served by a parish church, usually with its own minister. Unions and readjustments may however result in a parish having more than one building, or several parishes sharing a minister. The Church of Scotland has presbyteries outwith Scotland: these presbyteries have "gathered congregations" rather than parishes.

What follows is a list of Church of Scotland parishes, congregations and places of worship. A complete list of parishes with statistical data will be found in the Church of Scotland Yearbook (known as the Red Book). See also List of Church of Scotland synods and presbyteries.

In Scotland, at least 275 churches have closed since 1 January 2000, a decline of 15.6% in 21 years.
