St. Mark's Episcopal Church is a historic church complex at 73 Columbia Road in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The complex consists of three buildings: a chapel, rectory, and parish hall. All three were built between 1904 and 1909, with the last significant alteration to the exterior of the church occurring in 1916. All three buildings were designed by Edmund O. Sylvester, and present a unified architectural statement of Craftsman styling with some English Gothic (Tudor Revival) detailing. The congregation was established as a mission in 1887 after fire destroyed the St. Mary's Church on Bowdoin Street, and a portion of its congregation began to meet in the Grove Hall area of Dorchester. This new congregation was formally organized in 1897 and purchased land for this church the following year.[2]

The church complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
