St. Stephen's Memorial Episcopal Church is parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts in Lynn, Massachusetts founded in 1844.[2] It is noted for its historic church at 74 South Common Street.

Completed in 1881, the church is of a Romanesque Revival design by Ware & Van Brunt. It was built as a memorial to the children of Enoch Reddington Mudge of Swampscott, member of a leading Lynn family. It was built of granite quarried from Mudge's Swampscott estate, and trimmed with red brick and stone. The interior is richly decorated, with parquet and mosaic floors, carved timber ends, and a number of stained glass windows.[3]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Stephen's Memorial Church on September 7, 1979,[1] and included in the Lynn Common Historic District in 1992.[3]
