St. Joseph Church is a historic Roman Catholic church located on Main Street in Westphalia, Osage County, Missouri. The Gothic-Romanesque building was constructed in 1848. Architectural features include limestone and cottonstone construction, a frame clerestory, and an octagonal apse. A central belfry steeple was added in 1883. The entire structure was remodeled and enlarged in 1905.[2]

The church functioned as the headquarters for the Jesuit Central Missouri Mission from 1838 to 1883 and has been a parish church ever since.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
