St Michael's Church is a notable Anglican parish church in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. It is located in the lower part of the town, near its centre, towards the northern end of Church Street. It is largely of 16th-century construction in stone and flint.
A square tower at the west end of the church has two clocks, one facing north and one facing south.
Both clocks are mounted in a stone archway. A gold square mounting has a circular black clock face with twelve gold Roman numerals and sixty dots at the circumference for the minutes. The hands have a somewhat ornate design and are also gold.
The clock can be seen in Google Street View.
