The Church of Our Saviour, located at 65 East Holister Street in the Mount Auburn neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a parish of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. The parish's historic stone church was built in the late 19th Century in the Gothic Revival style. Our Saviour was founded by wealthy residents of the once-affluent suburb of Mount Auburn, about a mile (1.6 km) north of downtown and now within the city limits. Our Saviour lies within the Mount Auburn Historic District.
The congregation has in recent generations worked for social justice and since the early 1970s, the Church of Our Saviour has also been intentionally open and affirming towards its gay and lesbian members. For 20 years, Cincinnati's Metropolitan Community Church used the premises at the Church of Our Saviour for worship and other activities.
The first Head Start program in Mount Auburn began at the church, as did the Mount Auburn Community Council, the Bethany House (a shelter for homeless mothers and children) in the Rectory, and AIDS Volunteers of Cincinnati (AVOC).
The church draws active members from as far away as Dayton, Ohio and Northern Kentucky.
