St. John the Baptist Church is an historic Episcopal church located at 118 High Street in the village of Sanbornville in Wakefield, New Hampshire, in the United States. Built between 1874 and 1877 to fulfill the dying wish of a prominent local woman, the church was consecrated on September 14, 1877, by the Rt. Rev. William Woodruff Niles, the third bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. On June 7, 1984, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as St. John's Church, Rectory, and Parish Hall, also known as the Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist.

The church was a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire until it achieved parish status on June 14, 1961.[2] Since January 28, 2007, the Rev. Sue Poulin has been priest-in-charge.[3]
