Swedenborgian Church is a Swedenborgianism church significant for its architecture in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It is regarded as one of California's earliest pure Arts and Crafts buildings. The first pastor of the church Reverend Joseph Worcester bought the land and worked with the architects to design the church.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2004.
