St. Johann am Imberg, Catholic church in Altstadt, Salzburg, Austria.

St. Johann am Imberg, also called Imbergkirche, is a small single-nave Roman Catholic church raised above the Steingasse at the foot of the Kapuzinerberg, below the Capuchin monastery in Salzburg's right old town. Its core is Romanesque, first mentioned in 1319; the exterior is plain apart from an onion-dome tower added in the Baroque rebuilding after 1681. The slightly recessed choir has a flat ceiling closing in a segmental arch, and the old north portal from Linzergasse 4 is walled up but still visible under the plaster.

The building appears in written records from the 14th century and takes its name from a historical place designation for Capuchin mountain. Over the centuries, it went through several changes and renovations.

The church was once a pilgrimage site where believers venerated a copy of the Madonna image of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, known as Maria Schnee. It was heavily visited on the feast days of the two Johns, 24 June and 27 December. From 1756 the association of servants of the archbishop's court, called Heiducken after the fighters against the Turks, kept its brotherhood altar in the south chapel.

The church can be reached by climbing stairs on Steingasse and Imbergstiege or by taking an alternative route through Linzergasse near the Capuchin monastery. The building is open daily, but access may be limited during mass times.
