The Church of St. John the Baptist is a monument in Gniezno, Poland. It was the headquarters of Order of the Holy Sepulchre for centuries. Its presbytery houses the original 14th-century polychromy made with fresco-secco technique.

Order of the Holy Sepulchre arrived in Poznań from Miechowo in the second half of the 12th century. Over 70 years later, Przemysł I and Bolesław the Pious founded the monastery and church in the suburbs of Gniezno. Monastics lived here until the dissolution by Prussian authorities.
