Christianity is a minority faith in Shanghai, a large city in East China.

Shanghai has the highest proportion of Catholic residents of any province-level division in Mainland China (2003). The Roman Catholic Diocese of Shanghai has churches including St. Ignatius Cathedral of Shanghai and She Shan Basilica. Shanghai has far more Christians than Jews. The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, which is close to the governing party Christian Democratic Union (Germany) of Germany, has an office in Shanghai.
