St Brigid's Church, Red Hill, Catholic church in Red Hill, Australia.

St Brigid's Church is a rectangular brick church at 78 Musgrave Road, Red Hill, designed by Robin Dods and built 1912–1914 by Thomas Keenan. Its model was Albi Cathedral in France; the chancel, entrance porch and flanking buttresses are semi-octagonal, and a single-storey vestry projects from the west side of the chancel. A life-size statue of St Brigid by L. J. Harvey stands above the entrance porch, holding a model of the completed church.

The foundation stone was laid in 1912 and construction finished in 1914, built by Thomas Keenan for the expanding community. The project took place during a period when the Catholic population in Brisbane was growing significantly.

The parish was largely made up of poor Irish immigrants, and the church became a focal point of the Irish Catholic cause in Queensland. LJ Harvey's life-size statue of St Brigid above the entrance porch holds a model of the completed church, including the tower that was never built for lack of funds.

The church holds regular masses and religious services as part of the Jubilee Catholic Parish serving western Brisbane. The elevated location offers good visibility and makes it easy to spot from different parts of the neighborhood.

The church is oriented north to south, creating a direct visual line with George Street. This alignment makes it recognizable from many vantage points across Brisbane.
