The St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is a historic church at 434 Church Street. It was built in 1859 and added to the National Register in 1975. It has also been known as St. Joseph's Church.[1]

It was built from 1870 to 1884 and included a 142 feet (43 m) steeple, the highest in the city. The steeple was destroyed by a cyclone in 1923 and replaced by the current pyramidal structure which rises to about 87 feet (27 m).[2]
