St Talogan Parish Church is a ruined church in Fordyce, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, of which only the chancel and western tower remain.[1] Now a scheduled monument, having formerly been Category A listed,[2] a structure on the site has existed since at least the 13th century.[3]

The remaining structure is divided into two burial enclosures, one of Ogilvy of Findlater and one of James Ogilvy of Deskford (d. 1509).[2]

The bellcote is dated 1661.[2]

The congregation moved to a new church, Fordyce Parish Church, built in 1804.[2]
