Saint-Symphorien de Saint-Symphorien-d'Ancelles is a religious monument located in the commune of Saint-Symphorien-d'Ancelles, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. The available sources do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, but its name suggests a connection with Symphorian of Autun, Christian martyr of the 2nd or 3rd century, often associated with local churches in this region. Parish churches such as Saint-Symphorien-d'Ancelles played a central role in the life of Burgundy rural communities.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for social, religious and sometimes administrative events. Their architecture and location often reflected the medieval or modern organization of the villages, although the data specific to this monument remain unknown.
