The Church of St. Patrick is a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located in the Richmondtown area of Staten Island, New York City.

The church was established in 1862 as a mission of St. Joseph's, Rossville, and it was the fifth Catholic church on Staten Island. It became an independent parish in 1884.[1] Prior to construction of the church, the Catholic community in the area was serviced by a priest from Rossville as well as by James Roosevelt Bayley, a future archbishop.

The early Romanesque Revival-style building, built in 1862, was declared a New York City Landmark on February 20, 1968.[2][3]
