St John the Evangelist RC Church, Roman Catholic church in Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland.
The church stands at the intersection of Brighton Place and Sandford Gardens, featuring a Neo-Gothic architectural design with stained glass windows.
Construction began in 1816 under architect William Burn, who designed the structure at age 25, with dedication taking place in March 1818.
The church contains a memorial designed by Sir Robert Lorimer and holds regular services following Episcopal traditions within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Edinburgh.
The building operates as part of Cluster 2 alongside St. Mary Magdalene and St. Teresa of Lisieux parishes, coordinating resources and activities.
In 1961, the church received an organ that was relocated from Hawick and subsequently rebuilt by Rushworth and Dreaper.
