The Holy Redeemer Church lies on Boroughbridge Road, in the Acomb area of York, in England.

The first church here was a simple brick building, completed in 1938. This is now used as the church hall, linked to the new church, behind. The new church was constructed between 1959 and 1965, to a design by George Pace. ^{[1] [2]}

The church reuses parts of the demolished church of St Mary, Bishophill Senior. The south wall is constructed from stone from the building and includes Mediaeval windows, in a different arrangement to the original building. The remaining walls are brick, with the south wall including a 19th-century Gothic window. The clock tower is also of brick, and sits above a small chapel intended for weekday services. ^{[1] [2]}

The church is entered through a late-12th century doorway. Inside, the church has a wide nave and two narrow aisles. The south arcade is from St Mary, partly dating from about 1200, and partly from the late 13th-century. Above the altar is an iron cross, incorporating an Anglo-Saxon carved stone. Other Saxon carved stones, mostly cross fragments, are incorporated in the pulpit and walls. ^{[1] [2]} The York Civic Trust claimed that these were "all the interesting parts" of St Mary. ^[3]

Nikolaus Pevsner described the building as "probably the best post-war building in the city". It was Grade II listed in 1998. ^{[1] [2]}
