St Talorgan Parish Church is a ruined church in Fordyce, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The church was established in the 13th century and dedicated to St Talorgan, also known as St Talarican. In 1351, it was made a common church of the Cathedral Chapter of Aberdeen. Today, only the chancel and western tower remain. The surviving structure includes 16th century burial enclosures and a bellcote built in 1661. In 1804 the church was abandoned and dismantled when a new church, Fordyce Parish Church, was built in the village. The church and walled burial ground is now a scheduled monument; it was formerly Category A listed.
