This article is about the Birmingham church. For the Anniston church see East 11th Street Christian Church.

11th Street Christian Church was an African-American church affiliated with the Disciples of Christ.

The church was founded in 1919. One of its founding elders of the church was W. M. Watkins, who died in 1931.

The church was located at 1029 6th Avenue South, on the corner of 11th Street South in Birmingham's Five Points South neighborhood, from at least 1935 to after 1960.

In 1941 members of the church, represented by attorney F. D. McArthur, successfully overturned the granting of a liquor license to Louis Mezrano for a restaurant he proposed to open across the street.
