St. Francis Xavier Church, Neo-Baroque Catholic church in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China

St. Francis Xavier Church is a Neo-Baroque Roman Catholic church on Dongjiadu Road in Huangpu District, Shanghai. Its facade, modeled on Rome's Sant'Ignazio, carries statues of Saints Peter and Paul, and the interior has pillars ten meters in circumference decorated with Chinese lotus and crane motifs. A Three Saints pavilion stands in the forecourt.

In 1847 Ludovico Maria Besi, Italian Jesuit and apostolic administrator of Nanjing, broke ground on the cathedral; construction ran from 1849 to 1853, when it opened on Palm Sunday and was dedicated to St. Francis Xavier. It served as the seat of the vicar apostolic of Jiangnan and, from 1946 to 1960, as Shanghai's cathedral. Closed in 1966 and used as a factory warehouse, it was returned in stages from 1982 and fully restored by 2005.

The church is dedicated to St. Francis Xavier, the 16th-century Jesuit who was the first missionary sent to East Asia. Its Chinese name, Dongjiadu Catholic Church, comes from the Dong family pier on the Huangpu River where it stands. Inside, ten-metre-circumference columns carry Chinese-style lotus and crane motifs, and a pavilion in the forecourt honours Joseph, Mary and Jesus.

The church has been closed since 2017 for a restoration that involves excavating the entire floor from inside to reinforce the foundations, and its subsidiary buildings are being demolished. In 2018 it stood surrounded by a large construction site, so it cannot be visited. The site lies on Dongjiadu Road near the Huangpu waterfront, between the Old City and the Bund.

The church's interior holds columns ten metres in circumference, decorated with Chinese lotus and crane motifs, and the courtyard has a pavilion of the Holy Family (Joseph, Mary and Jesus). The facade carries statues of Saints Peter and Paul. The building was used as a factory warehouse from 1966 until masses resumed in a returned portion in 1982.
