The Church of St Helen, Barmby on the Marsh, East Riding of Yorkshire, England is a redundant church which is now in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

The earliest record of a building on the site of St Helen's dates to 1388 and records a grant of permission for the construction of a chapel. The Friends of Friendless Churches notes the tradition that the nave of the church was originally a tithe barn.^[1] By the late 18th century the church was derelict and a rebuilding in 1773^[2] saw the construction of the tower, in brick with an ogee copper cupola.^[3] The church was closed in 2007 and, following failed attempts to sell it, by 2014 faced the threat of demolition.^[4] It was transferred to the charity, Friends of Friendless Churches, in November 2020.^[1]

The nave is the only remaining element of the 16th century church.^[3] The chancel dates from the Victorian rebuilding of 1870.^[2] Nikolaus Pevsner and David Neave, in the Yorkshire: York and the East Riding volume of the Buildings of England, note the "charming Georgian brick tower".^[2] St Helen's is a Grade II listed building.^[3]
