Garnisonkirche St. Martin, Catholic parish church in Albertstadt, Dresden, Germany.

The Garrison Church of St. Martin is a double church of tan and brown Cotta sandstone in Romanesque Revival forms, designed by William Lossow and Hermann Viehweger. Its single 90-metre tower with a clock rises between the two halves; the Catholic church occupies the eastern nave, the larger Protestant one the transept, and both choirs face south. About 900 columns carry capitals, no two alike.

The double church was designed by William Lossow and Hermann Viehweger after an 1893 competition, with three foundation stones laid on 28 October 1895 and consecration on 28 October 1900. It served the Protestant and Catholic soldiers of the Albertstadt garrison, whose bells were cast from captured cannon metal. Since 1945 only the Catholic part has been used for worship, as the parish church of St. Franziskus Xaverius and, from 2018, of St. Martin Dresden.

The church is dedicated to Saint Martin, whose cloak-cutting scene appears in the large stained-glass window; the apse roundels show Saint Elizabeth, Saint Charles Borromeo, King Albert, George the Bearded and Matilda. The organ was built in 1900 by the three Jähnrich brothers, flanked by windows of Saints Maurice and Victor. Fifteen modern Stations of the Cross hang under the side galleries, beside a copy of Lucas Cranach the Elder's Marian pilgrimage painting.

The entrances are on the north side, facing Stauffenbergallee, an arrangement that let mixed confessional troops gather and enter easily. The church stands slightly elevated opposite the Prießnitz valley and above Alaunpark to the south; except on the south side it is surrounded by park and woodland rather than buildings.

The church has about 900 columns with capitals, no two of which are alike. Its bells were cast from metal of captured cannons, and three bronze bells were removed in World War I; their empty iron bell frame remains.
