St Mary's Church, Wigan, Grade II* listed Catholic church in Standishgate, Wigan, England.

St Mary's Church is a Catholic place of worship built in Gothic Revival style located in Wigan, England. The building features stained glass windows from 1889 and 1923 that were incorporated during restoration work.

The foundation stone was laid in 1818 and the church opened in 1819, establishing a center for Catholic worship in the area. This founding represented a significant moment for the religious community in the town.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community and displays Victorian architectural elements that remain part of everyday worship. Visitors can observe how the interior design reflects the traditions and practices of those who gather here.

The building is located on Standishgate and is easily reached on foot by visitors. The church holds regular services and welcomes guests to explore the interior during opening hours.

The church stands just meters away from St John's Church, creating two places of worship in very close proximity within this small district. This spatial closeness reveals the religious importance this neighborhood held in Wigan's past.
