St. Jodokus is a Roman Catholic parish church and former Franciscan church in the center of Bielefeld in the Mitte district. The late Gothic hall church with roof turret (secco painting of the vault marked 1511) and the former convent building surrounding the cloister (bay window with the year 1515) form an ensemble in Bielefeld's old town. Church and monastery buildings are plastered buildings with ashlar structure.

Like its predecessor on the Jostberg, the church is consecrated to St. Jodokus, a monastery founder, hermit and pilgrim who lived in what is now northern France in the 7th century.
