Saint Aidan's Church and Rectory is a historic Catholic complex in Brookline, Massachusetts, comprising a stuccoed church designed by the ecclesiastical architects Maginnis & Walsh in the Medieval Tudor Revival style and completed in 1911, and a rectory built circa 1850–55 by Boston lawyer Edward G. Parker that was acquired and restyled by the parish in 1920. The church served as Brookline's third Catholic parish and holds significance as the family parish of Joseph P. Kennedy, where both John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy were baptized. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, though the church was closed in 1999 and later converted to residential use.
