St Mary Magdalen's Church is a Roman Catholic church in the Montpelier area of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. It is one of six Roman Catholic churches in Brighton and one of eleven in the city area.

The first part of the nave was added in 1862; this was then extended in 1864, when the spire was also built. The official opening date was 16 August 1864. The church is a 13th-century Early English/Decorated Gothic-style building. Mass is said once on Saturday evenings and three times on Sundays; the second of the three Sunday services is said in Polish. There are two services on Holy Days of Obligation. The Sacrament of Penance is offered twice weekly.
