St John Britto Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church along Jalan Sungai Pinang. It caters to a parish that comprises mostly working-class Indians living in the area.

The St John Britto Catholic Church was established in 1969 by Monsignor Ignatius John Aloysius with help from Father François Felix Faure from the College General. It was named after a Catholic saint from India.

In 1988, the Parish of St John Britto was merged with the Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, the St Francis Xavier Parish and the Assumption Parish to form the City Parish, with its secretariat based at the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows.
