St. Mary's Episcopal Church is a historic church at 805 1st Street in Franklin, Louisiana. Designed by New Orleans architect James Freret for R.W. Micou, it was advertised by the Lhote Lumber Company in its 1883 Buyers' Guide.

The current Gothic Revival church building was built in 1872 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. A parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, St. Mary's also maintains the historic Trowbridge House just across the street.

St. Mary's Church holds regular Christian formation programs and Sunday worship at 10:30. As of now there is no priest-in-charge, but Father Calvin Lane is substituting until a replacement has been found.
