The church of Saint Martin de Bainghen is a religious monument located in the commune of Bainghen, in the Hauts-de-France region. Although its name and location are attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or its specific architectural or historical details. Its name suggests a dedication to Saint Martin, a major figure of Christianity in France, often associated with medieval or modern parish churches.

Churches such as Bainghen traditionally played a central role in the life of the rural communities of Hauts-de-France. They served as places of worship, social gathering and sometimes as space for local decisions.
