St Mary's Church was an Anglican church which stood at the south end of the current St. Mary's Street, Cardiff, from 1107 until 1620. Located next to the River Taff, it was suseptable to flooding, and so the monks were withdrawn by the sponsoring Tewkesbury Abbey in 1211.[1]

After the Bristol Channel Floods of 1607 washed away much of its foundation, it slowly began to collapse, and was left to decay. Its location was below the current Prince of Wales public house on Westgate Street.
