St. Michael is a listed Roman Catholic branch church at Kirchstrasse 1 in Oberhinkofen (part of the municipality of Obertraubling ) in the district of Regensburg ( Bavaria ).

In the early Middle Ages, the church, first mentioned in 1508, was looked after by the Benedictine monastery of Prüll , then by the Benedictine monastery of Mittelmünster in Regensburg . From 1589 to 1780 it belonged to the Regensburg Jesuit College St. Paul . Thereafter, Oberhinkofen was merged with Wolkering to form a parish. The branch church has belonged to the parish of St. Georg Obertraubling since 1817 .

The church is a hall building with a retracted choir and flank tower with a tent roof from the 2nd half of the 17th century. The core of the 32 m high tower is Gothic . The roof dates from 1900. In 1986 the nave was extended to the south and a total renovation took place. In 1844 the two side altars, dedicated to Maria and Joseph, were added by purchase, and in 1869 a way of the cross made by the church painter Stahl from Regensburg based on a template by Schraudolph .
