St. Ladislaus Roman Catholic Church was a historic church at 2908 Wood Avenue in Lorain, Ohio.[2] The church was founded by Lorain's Hungarian community.[3]

It was built in 1904 and added to the US's National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The church was closed in 2010 along with other local churches as part of a "reconfiguration" by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.[4][5] Statues from the church were restored and later added to the Museum of Divine Statues in Lakewood, Ohio in April 2011.[5]
