The Holy Cross Church (German: Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche) is a Roman Catholic church in Bornheim, Frankfurt am Main (Germany). It was built by Martin Weber from 1928 to 1929, on a rise then known as Bornheimer Hang. The church is an unusual example of interwar modernist church architecture of Bauhaus architecture.

The church was finally completed on 25 August 1929 and handed to the Catholic congregation of Bornheim. It was badly damaged in the Second World War, and afterwards rebuilt with money donated for the purpose.
