St. Paul's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church in Haymarket, Virginia, United States. It was started in 1801 and is a two-story, gable-roofed brick church building. The building originally served as the district courthouse for Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudon, and Prince William counties. It later housed Hygeia Academy. It was consecrated as a church in 1834, and remodeled in 1867, after being gutted during the American Civil War. The remodeling added the frame chancel, bracketed cornice, and octagonal belfry and spire.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
