St. Boniface Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church in the East Street Valley neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The parish was founded in 1884 by German-Americans.[3] The church building located at 2208 East Street was constructed in 1925 and 1926, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The church has a three bay nave, and a pendentive dome. Guastavino tile system on the dome and interior vaulting, and the exterior is cased in limestone with some carving.

Today, the church is used by Holy Wisdom Parish, a 1994 union between St. Ambrose Parish in Spring Hill and St. Boniface.[4] It is also home to the Holy Wisdom Latin Mass Community (Pittsburgh Latin Mass Community).
