Church of the Redeemer is a historic Episcopal church located in Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. It was built in 1886–1888, and is a native stone cruciform chapel in the Romanesque style. It measures 50 feet long and has a steeply pitched slate gable roof. It features stained glass in round-arch windows—including a Tiffany window signed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Also on the property is a contributing cemetery. It was built by Dr. Francis Willis, a British physician, who built the private chapel on his 100-acre estate.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
