St. Simon & St. Jude Church, known colloquially as Tignish Church, is a 19th-century Roman Catholic church in Tignish parish, Prince Edward Island, Canada. As of 2006, it is the largest church in the province, 56 metres (185 ft) high. It is visible from 9.7 kilometres (6 mi) away on flat land and from further at sea.
The church and the post office are two of the few conserved structures remaining in Tignish. Surrounding churches include Immaculate Conception Church, 6 miles southwest on Palmer Road, and Greenmount United Church, 8.0 kilometres (5 mi) south. Many parish outsiders, such as those on Palmer Road or in Alberton parishes, attend services here.
