Christ Episcopal Church is an Anglo-Catholic Episcopal church in Woodbury, New Jersey. Founded in 1854, the parish is part of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey and a member of the Anglican Communion. The parish was established by the first Rector, the Reverend William Herbert Norris, at the direction of Bishop George Washington Doane; the church building was finished in 1856 and consecrated September 17, 1857.

The Bishop's chair is still used for visiting bishops today. The adjoining Parish House was renovated in 2018. In addition to serving as the assembly room for coffee hours and parish meetings, in the 1930s and 1940s it also served as the performance space for the Woodbury Sketch Club.The current rector is The Very Rev. Brian K. Burgess, who is also the current bishop-elect of the Episcopal Diocese of Springfield, Illinois.
