St. Philip's Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church located at 446 Church Street in Wrangell, Alaska, United States. Its frame vernacular-style church was built as the People's Church in 1903 by a Presbyterian congregation of Alaskan Natives under the direction of its minister, the Rev. Harry Prosper Corser. In 1905 the Rev. Mr. Corser and many of his congregation were received into the Episcopal Church by the Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe, the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska. Corser was later ordained an Episcopal priest and served the church which was consecrated at St. Phillip's until he retired in 1934. On May 6, 1987, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Saint Philip's Episcopal Church.[1][2]

St. Philip's is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska. The Rev. Paula Sampson and the Rev. Ian MacKenzie are its co-rectors.[2]
