St. Johannes Nepomuk, Catholic parish church in Eberbach, Germany.

St. Johannes Nepomuk is a neo-Renaissance church in Eberbach, built 1884–1887 to plans by Adolf Williard with Wilhelm Lutz, and directed on site by the young Ludwig Maier. The east-facing, three-nave vaulted basilica has a double-tower facade of red sandstone; above the main portal stand the four Evangelists with their symbols, and Archangel Michael crowns the gable. All five statues are by Julius Seitz, and the 1970 portals by Hermann Koziol show scenes from the life of John of Nepomuk and the Bible.

The parish, once part of the Diocese of Würzburg, predates the year 1000. The original church stood outside the town walls; after a new town church was built in 1429 it became a cemetery church, replaced in 1488. A Baroque nave was added to the old tower by 1782, but damp ground caused damage. After the cemetery moved in 1835, Adolf Williard and Wilhelm Lutz planned the present church, built 1884–1887 under Ludwig Maier.

The church is dedicated to John of Nepomuk, a Bohemian saint, and the 1970 portals by sculptor Hermann Koziol show scenes from his life and from the Bible. Inside, the choir windows designed by Valentin Feuerstein in 1970 depict biblical scenes. The parish belongs to the Edith Stein pastoral unit of the Neckartal-Hoher Odenwald in the Archdiocese of Freiburg.

The church stands in the northeast of Eberbach's old town, an easy walk from the centre. The main portal, created in 1970 by Hermann Koziol, depicts scenes from the life of John of Nepomuk and from the Bible. The organ, with 56 registers and about 3,800 pipes, is played in concerts; the movable console and electric action were installed in 2015.

The 1972 organ by Hans-Theodor Vleugels was reworked in 2015 by Gebr. Link of Giengen and the Trefz firm of Stuttgart, gaining a new console. Its facade design comes from the Eberbach architect and musician Gustav Rumstadt. The five bronze bells in the towers were cast in 1954 by F. W. Schilling of Heidelberg.
