Gethsemane Episcopal Church is an historic church in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the oldest extant churches in Minneapolis and is significant for its Gothic Revival architecture.

Architect Edward Stebbins modeled the church on small Gothic style churches in rural England. It is proportioned rather broadly, as opposed having tall proportions, which is rather unusual for churches designed in the late 19th century. The area surrounding the church was primarily residential when it was first built, but it is now surrounded by commercial development.[1]

In 1895, Gethsemane was the main location of the first Episcopal Church General Convention west of the Mississippi River.[2]

Faced with reduced membership and financial struggle, the final Sunday morning service at Gethsemane occurred in November 2019.
