St George's Church, Arreton, is a parish church in the Church of England located in Arreton, Isle of Wight.
The church is medieval and the earliest traces are from the Norman period.
Part of the church dates from the 12th century. The church has a Saxon wall and a Burma Star window. The short tower with its unique buttresses contains a ring of 6 bells, the oldest of which was cast in 1589.
In this parish lived a devout young woman, Elizabeth Wallbridge, made famous as "The Dairyman's Daughter" in an early nineteenth-century poem by Legh Richmond.
The war memorial was designed by local architect, Percy Stone (1856–1934).
The church has an historic organ dating from 1888 by the organ-builder William Hill. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
