St. John's Church (German: Johanniskirche) was a Lutheran church building in Leipzig on the Johannisplatz, several hundred meters east of Augustusplatz. During the Second World War, it was severely affected by the bombing of Leipzig. In 1949, the ruins of the nave were cleared, and in 1963, the tower was blown up.
