St. Suitbertus Church, located at Suitbertusplatz 1 in the Bilk district of Düsseldorf, was built in two phases: 1905–1906 and 1927. This Catholic church has been a listed building since 1994.

In August 1902, the decision was made to divide the parish of St. Martin in Bilk and to build a rectorate church at what is now Suitbertusplatz. Construction began in 1905/1906 according to a design by Alfred Tepe. On October 1, 1911, the new church district was elevated to an independent parish.

In 1925, the parish council decided on a significant expansion. The nave was extended and the church tower was built in 1927 according to a design by the Düsseldorf architects Hans Tietmann and Karl Haake. The church was largely destroyed in bombing raids in 1943. Reconstruction began in 1947. The stained glass windows were replaced in 1949. The interior was redesigned in 1967, and extensive renovations and reconstruction took place in 1969. All restoration work was completed in 1990.

The original part of the church was built in the Neo-Gothic style as a three-aisled basilica. The interior is modeled on High Gothic churches, while the exterior, with its simple forms and building materials, is more in keeping with North German Brick Gothic.

The 80.23-meter-high tower, the second tallest church tower in Düsseldorf, dominates the entire building complex. The original spire was made of wood and clad in copper. It was destroyed in World War II; the current spire was added in 1968 and largely replaced in 2004/2005.
