Saint John the Evangelist Parish Church, commonly known as Tanauan Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Tanauan, Batangas, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Lipa.

Built in 1881, the church's facade was heavily influenced by Romanesque and Renaissance architectures. Its bell towers are topped by Baroque-styled domes. In addition, the church's compound has 14 life-sized Stations of the Cross.

The church was renovated in 1948 after being damaged in the World War II. The National Historical Institute, now the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, installed a historical marker on the church in 1991.
