Cua Bac Church, Roman Catholic church in Ba Dinh district, Hanoi, Vietnam.

The rectangular building features an asymmetric bell tower, Renaissance elements, and traditional Vietnamese tiled roofs spanning over the sanctuary and reception area.

French architect Ernest Hébrard designed this church during colonial Indochina, with construction starting in 1925 and completion in 1930 under Apostolic Vicar Pierre Marie Gendreau.

The structure stands as one of three major Catholic churches in Hanoi, along with Saint Joseph's Cathedral and Ham Long Church, serving local and foreign worshippers.

The church opens daily for visitors and services near numerous embassies in downtown Ba Dinh, providing guided tours and interpretative exhibits about its architecture.

In 2006, United States President George W. Bush participated in a joint Catholic-Protestant worship service at this location during his official Vietnam visit.
