The Church of Saint Stephen is a historic Roman Catholic church located at 2211 Clinton Avenue South, in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis in the U.S. state of Minnesota. This neighborhood is where entrepreneurs and businessmen built their mansions in the modern-day Washburn-Fair Oaks Mansion District. The building was built with sandstone, brick, concrete, and copper in 1889-1891.[1]

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1] It was considered significant as an early and well-preserved example of a Richardsonian Romanesque/Romanesque Revival church.[2]
