Saint John's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Crawfordsville, Indiana. It was built in 1837 by an Episcopal congregation, organized through missionary bishop Jackson Kemper, and is a one-story, gable fronted frame building in the Greek Revival style. The original section measures 30 feet by 50 feet; a 30-foot rear addition was built in 1960. Atop the roof is a belfry added about 1950. It is the oldest remaining church building in Crawfordsville and Indiana's first Episcopal Church building. ^{[2] : 2, 4}

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. ^[1]

Theologian Hans Frei, a longtime Yale Divinity School faculty member and a significant figure in Post-liberal theology, briefly served as rector in the early 1950s. ^{[3] [ circular reference ]}
