St. James's Church is a church in the Belgian city of Ypres. It stands halfway between the Menin Gate and the Lille Gate, near St. Vincent's College in Ypres. The building has been a protected monument since 1940, as has the surrounding Guido Gezelleplein, which has been a protected landscape since 1976.

The Roman Catholic Church of St. James (Dutch Sint-Jacobskerk (Ypres)) is a Gothic pseudo-basilica in the city of Ypres in the Belgian province of West Flanders.
During the First World War, the church was completely destroyed, except for the substructure, where various types of natural stone, including iron sandstone in parts of the plinth of the north facade, can still be found. In 1923, the building was faithfully rebuilt according to the plans of architect Jules Coomans.
