St Leonard's-in-the-Fields Church (formerly St Leonard's-in-the-Fields and Trinity Church)^[1] is located in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Standing on Marshall Place, at its junction with Scott Street, overlooking the northern end of the South Inch, it was built between 1882 and 1885, to a design by J. J. Stevenson, and is now a Category A listed building. Of Church of Scotland denomination, the building is in the Gothic Revival style.^[2]

Inside, the semi-octagonal apse was inspired by the 15th-century apse of the Church of the Holy Rude in Stirling.^[3]

Perth photographer Magnus Jackson had a wooden studio on the site between the 1850s and 1884.^[4]

The organ is by Perth native Henry Bryceson's company of London and dates to 1881. It was built for the former Morningside United Presbyterian Church and moved here in 1985, installed in a modern ash case.^[3]
