Christ Episcopal Church and Cemetery is a historic Episcopal church on Louisiana Highway 1 between Courthouse Street and Louisiana Highway 1008 in Napoleonville, Louisiana. It was designed by New York City architect Frank Wills in a Gothic Revival style as if it were an English village church, but with adaptations for Louisiana materials.[2][3] It was built in 1853 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]

It is located on the west bank of Bayou Lafourche on land donated by Dr. E. E. Kittredge for the church, on the corner of the former Elm Hall Plantation.[2][3]
