The Saint Paul Church (Turkish: Aziz Pavlus Kilisesi) is a formerly Armenian, now Roman Catholic church built from 1870 and completed between 1880 and 1890 on Cemal Gürsel Street on the "Square of January 5" (5 Ocak Meydanı) the southern Turkish port city of Adana. Located in the historic Mahalle Tepebağ of Seyhan district, the church is currently closed due to disagreements with the city government. The priest (başrahip) of the church is Francis Dondu.

The 2.50 meter high bronze statue of Mary on the roof top above the front entrance is reminiscent of a small child, so that the Saint Paul Church is also popularly called Bebekli Kilise (“Church with Baby”). Since the Catholic Church does not receive any financial support from the state, the congregation had to convert their garden into a parking lot in order to receive income.

Until the Armenian Genocide in 1915, the church was used by the Armenian community. Due to a lack of facilities, the church is also used by other Christians such as the city's evangelical community.
