Dalavich Church is a kirk (church) in the settlement of Dalavich in the Lorne district of Argyll in Scotland,

---

Dalavich, originates from the Gaelic meaning "meadows near the River Avich". This small but handsome church, situated in idyllic surroundings near the shores of Loch Awe,[1] was built in 1770 on the site of a much earlier church[2] of rubble stone and is a category C(s) building.[3] Built in traditional style, small and oblong, the church is embellished by round headed windows and is enclosed by a burial ground. A small bell tower was added to celebrate the millennium.[4] It contains a stained glass window commemorating the life of local schoolmaster, Mr. Macpherson who lived across the loch at Ardchonnel.[1] The earliest church in the area was just north of the hamlet at Kilmun, north of the River Avich between Loch Avich and Loch Awe; that chapel was dedicated to St. Munnu.
