St John the Baptist Church is a former Anglican church that was located in Latimer Square, Christchurch, New Zealand.

Founded on 24 June 1864, the church was designed by Benjamin Mountfort and Maxwell Bury and consecrated on 27 December 1865.[1]

The stone church was severely damaged during the 2011 Christchurch earthquake[2] and subsequently demolished. On its section the Transitional Cathedral was constructed, made out of cardboard by the architect Shigeru Ban.

The congregation is today known as Latimer Church and meets in St Albans.
