St Mary on the Quay, Roman Catholic church in central Bristol, England

The Neoclassical church building stands prominently on Colston Avenue, featuring a hexastyle portico influenced by Greek architectural elements at its entrance.

Constructed in 1840 by architect Richard Shackleton Pope, the building was initially intended for the Irvingites but transferred to Catholic ownership in 1843.

The church maintains a Roll of Honour commemorating sixty-seven congregation members who perished during World War I, including George Archer-Shee.

Services include a Saturday evening Mass at 6:15 PM, Sunday Masses at 9:30 AM, 11:00 AM, and 5:15 PM, with confessions available Monday through Saturday.

The building's original location allowed boats to tie directly to its walls when the Bristol Floating Harbour extended to its front entrance.
