The St Ninian's Centre (1960–2001) in was a conference centre owned by the Church of Scotland which was located in Crieff, Perthshire in Scotland, UK. It was converted from the former Crieff West Parish Church in 1960 (Crieff West and Crieff North Parish Churches had united in 1957). It was extensively used by church groups - both day and residential.

By the 1990s use of the centre was declining and the facilities were in need of modernization. In 2000 the Church of Scotland's Board of National Mission proposed the closure of the centre. There was considerable protest at the General Assembly, which eventually resolved to set up a Special Commission. The Commission reported in 2001; the General Assembly then duly authorized the closure of the centre the same year. Proposals to continue to use building as a Christian conference centre were explored, but ultimately without success. The building today contains private flats which are rented out as holiday accommodation.
