Catalina American Baptist Church (Catalina Baptist Church) is a historic church in Tucson, Arizona. The original sanctuary there was built in 1960–1961. Its "primary character-defining feature...is a thin-shell concrete hyperbolic paraboloid roof."[2] Its walls have floor-to-ceiling glass windows and aggregate concrete.[2]

The church building features notable Modern Movement and Sculptural Expressionism style elements in its design.

A multi-purpose church complex was also built on the property, in 2005.[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
