The Immaculate Conception Church^[2] is a historic church and former cathedral^[3] at 115 N. Cushman Street in Fairbanks, Alaska, United States.

Built in 1904, it was the first Roman Catholic Church erected in Alaska's interior.^[4] The church was originally located on Dunkel Street, but in the winter of 1911–12, the church was moved across the Chena River to its present location^[5] so that it would be closer to St. Joseph's Hospital, which closed in the 1960s. After the move, the basement of rough frame structure was enlarged to provide a parish hall, it was wired for electricity, and a parish house was built adjacent. The steeple and vestibule were added in 1914, the roof was raised, and the choir gallery added. Its stained glass windows were added in 1926–28.^[4]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.^[1]
