St Anne's Church, Kew is a parish church located in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

The neo-classical building historically in Surrey, which dates from 1714 and is Grade II* listed, forms the central focus of Kew Green.

Its raised churchyard, which is on three sides of St Anne's Church, has two Grade II* listed monuments – the tombs of the artists Thomas Gainsborough (1727–1788) and Johan Zoffany (1733–1810). French Impressionist Camille Pissarro (1830–1903), a frequent visitor to England was resident at 10 Kew Green when painting St Anne's as Church at Kew (1892).
