St. Hedwig's Roman Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church located at Linden and S. Harrison Streets in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1904, and is a cruciform shaped church constructed of soft gray brick (concrete block with brick veneer) with details in limestone. It is in the late Gothic Revival style. The front facade features a set of three double doors flanked by 80' spires terminating in cross gable spires. St. Hedwig's serves as the only architecturally visible anchor or centerpiece for the Wilmington Polish community.[2] The parish operated St. Hedwig's High School from 1960 to the 1970s.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
