The Church of St. Francis Xavier (St. Francis for short) is a Roman Catholic church in Benson, Minnesota, United States. The parish was founded in 1881 and its current building was designed by architect Emmanuel Louis Masqueray and constructed in 1917. St. Francis's building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and European ethnic heritage. It was nominated for being one of west-central Minnesota's most architecturally sophisticated churches, for its Renaissance Revival design by Masqueray, and for its association with a parish of Swift County's late-19th-century Catholic settlers.
