The Church of St Michael in Buckland Dinham, Somerset, England, has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

The church has a nave, chancel, south chapel and south porch which date from around 1200. The north chapel was added in 1325, and a further chapel to the north of the chancel and the west tower being added in 1480. It underwent restoration in the late 19th century.[2]
