Abdie Old Kirk is a medieval parish church situated in Fife, Scotland. The building dates from the medieval period and represents a modest example of parochial ecclesiastical architecture. The kirk served the local community as the principal place of worship for the parish of Abdie. The structure survives as a testament to medieval religious provision in rural Fife, though like many Scottish parish churches of its age, it experienced modifications and eventual abandonment as ecclesiastical practices and settlement patterns evolved.
