St. Francis Xavier's Church along Jalan Laksamana, formerly Riverside, in Malacca was completed in 1856 on the site of an old Portuguese church by a French priest, Father Farvé.

Construction started in 1849. The twin-spired Gothic church was named after the famous Catholic missionary who visited Malacca on several occasions from 1545 to 1552, on his way to the Far East.
