Christ Episcopal Church (Joliet, Illinois)
- Christ Episcopal Church (Joliet, Illinois)

The Christ Episcopal Church was a historic building and former church in Joliet, Illinois. The Episcopalian congregation formed in 1865 and required a larger church in the 1880s. F. S. Allen was commissioned to build the church in 1884-1885. Allen was living in Streator and had designed several buildings there, including the City Hall. Allen moved to Joliet in 1887 and later constructed many other buildings, including Joliet Township High School. Allen was only 24 when he submitted his plans for the church's construction. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The church closed in 2004, and the congregation left for the St. Edward Church. A group of local investors purchased the building in 2006 for use as a concert hall. A fire on October 8, 2006 destroyed most of the building, and the fate of the land remains uncertain.
