Antioch Missionary Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church at 313 Robin Street in Downtown Houston, Texas. It was historically a part of the Fourth Ward.^[2]

The church originated from a brush arbor along the Buffalo Bayou.^[3] It was built in 1875 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Jack Yates once served as the pastor of this church.^[4]

As of 2003 the church has a "Jesus Saves" sign. Rod Davis of the San Antonio Express-News said that the presence of the sign, which "still makes a footnote to the downtown skyscrapers," was "evidence that the oldest African American Baptist church (1875) in the city thrives as well as it did when the Rev. Jack Yates, a former slave, served as its first pastor."^[2]
