St. Christopher's Episcopal Mission (also known as St. Christopher's Mission to the Navajo) is a historic Episcopal church 1.7 miles east of Bluff, Utah. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. ^[1]

The property includes three contributing buildings and eight noncontributing buildings plus small structures. It is located across the San Juan River from the Navajo reservation which it served. A narrow suspension footbridge across the river allowed Navajo children to come to attend school at the mission, is not included in the property. A cemetery is also outside the property. ^[2]

The primary historic building is the mission house, built from about 1943 to about 1951. ^[2]
