St John the Evangelist Church is a heritage-listed Presbyterian church located at Main Street, Wallerawang, City of Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by Edmund Blacket and Blacket and Sons, and built from 1880 to 1881 by George Donald. It is also known as the Church of St. John the Evangelist. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 10 September 2004.
Established as a dual-denomination Unionist Anglican and Presbyterian church, the church was closed in 2001 in order to repair the tower. When it reopened in 2006, the Anglican Church ceased to conduct services in the building.
Prior to establishment of the church, the area was former Aboriginal land, a squatting run, and farm village.
