St Saviour's Church, Retford is a Grade II listed parish church in the Church of England in Retford.
History
The church dates from 1829. It was consecrated on 27 September 1829 by the Rt. Revd. Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt Archbishop of York as a daughter church of St John the Baptist Church, Clarborough, the church became a parish in its own right in 1871. It was restored in 1878. In 2002 it was united with St Swithun's and St Michael's in Retford to become a joint parish. Following further re-organisation, St. Saviour's became a single parish again in 2019 covering much of the east side of Retford.
Two stained glass memorial windows are by Charles Eamer Kempe.
