Sacred Heart of Jesus Church is a historic Roman Catholic church on Berger Street in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.

The church was founded in 1869-70 for German Catholics settling in the Lawrenceburg area. The land for the church was purchased by the Cincinnati Homestead Society. Father Henry Hueser was the first priest; initially services were held in his house. The first church building was a frame building completed in 1872. The church's present brick building was completed in 1887, at which time the earlier frame church was converted into a school.^[2] A new two-story school building was constructed in 1912, and stood for fifty years until it was replaced with a newer structure. A gymnasium was added to the school in 1990.^[3]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.^[1]
