The St John's Church is an Anglican chuch in Ipoh. It is formally known as the Church of St John's the Divine and is located facing Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab, also known as Jalan Kelab (formerly Club Road), across the road from the St Michael's Institution. The address of the church, however, is at Jalan St John.

The St John's Church building was completed in 1912, under the leadership of Reverend J.P. Parry. It has a knave measuring 72 ft long. During the Japanese Occupation of Second World War, there was religious suppression. The church was forcefully converted into a noodle factory.

After the war, it reverted to being a place of worship. John Hayter was instrumental in the abolishment of the chaplaincy system and the establishment of the parochial church council in 1947 where the various ethnic communities, including the Europeans, Tamils land Chinese have a representation.
