St. John's Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church located at 20 E. Cherry St. in Albion, Illinois. The church was built in 1842-43 and has held regular services continuously since its opening. Albion's Episcopal congregation, established in 1819, was the first Protestant church in the city; it met in a log cabin prior to the construction of the church. The church was built from red brick with a foundation of locally quarried stone. In 1879-80, the church was expanded to accommodate its increasing congregation; its bell tower was most likely added around this time.[2]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 15, 2012.[1]
