The St. John Baptist Church (Hebrew: כנסיית סן חואן באוטיסטה‎‎; Latin: Ecclesia Sancti Ioannis Baptistae) sometimes simply called Church of St. John, is the name given to a religious building affiliated with the Catholic Church which is located in the town of Acre in northern Israel.

It should not be confused with the Franciscan ″Terra Sancta Church″ in the same city. It is very close to the coast on one side of town lighthouse.

The present church was built by the Franciscans of the Custody in 1737 where the church was before the cross which was dedicated to St. Andrew. It works as a parish church for the Catholic community of Latin or Roman rite. It was renovated in 1947.
