St John the Evangelist's Church stands in the cathedral city of Chichester, West Sussex, England. Built in 1812 to designs by James Elmes as a proprietary chapel, it is an octagonal white-brick building reflecting the early 19th-century ideals of the Church of England's evangelical wing, before High Church movements changed ideas on church design. The Diocese of Chichester declared it redundant in 1973. Its theatre-like interior now makes it a popular venue for concerts and musical events, and it is a Grade I listed building.
