St Mary with St Alban is the Church of England parish church of Teddington in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The vicar is Rev. Joe Moffat.

The church is located on Ferry Road in Teddington, opposite the former St Alban's Church, which is now an arts centre. The oldest parts of the building date from the 16th century.[1]

The church's most famous vicar was the Reverend Stephen Hales, a scientist whose legacy is the nearby National Physical Laboratory. He is buried directly under the church's tower.[2]
