Cill Chriosd or Kilchrist (Christ's Church) is a ruined former parish church of Strath, on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It was constructed around the 16th century, replacing an earlier medieval church on the same location, and was used until 1840 when the parish church was relocated to Broadford. It lies on the B8083 Broadford to Torrin and Elgol road. Layout The ruins of the church lie at the top of a small mound, surrounded by the graveyard. It has been described by Miers as follows: "The long, low, rubble ruin of the post-Reformation parish church of Strath has roughly dressed quoins and jambs, and a balustraded burial enclosure added to the east gable in the early 18th century for the Mackinnons." The church doorway, in the south wall, has splayed jambs and check and square .

The present ruined church probably replaced the first medieval stone church in the 16th century.
