St. Edwards Church is a historic Roman Catholic church at 801 Sherman Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. Built in 1901, it is a handsome Gothic Revival structure, built out of brick with stone trim. A pair of buttressed towers flank a central gabled section, with entrance in each of the three parts set in Gothic-arched openings. A large rose window stands above the center entrance below the gable, where there is a narrow Gothic-arched louver. Designed by Charles L. Thompson, it is the most academically formal example of the Gothic Revival in his portfolio of work.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
