Church of St. Benedict the Moor, built in 1894, is a Roman Catholic church located at 89 Crawford Street in the Hill District neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the 1960s, four predominantly African-American parishes were merged and consolidated at St. Benedict's. The 18-foot tall statue of St. Benedict the Moor by Frederick Charles Shrady was installed atop its tower in 1968.[2]

The building was added to the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks in 1998.[1]
