Bayou Rouge Baptist Church is a historic church located at the corner of Church Street and Barron Lane in Evergreen, Louisiana.

Built in 1869, the frame, 5 bay basilican plan church with a semihexagonal chancel is a classic example of a Greek Revival country church, which could be found in rural parishes from the 1870s to the Civil War. Although these churches are common in the eastern United States, there are few examples still standing in Louisiana.[2]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
