St. Joseph is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama, located in the Ensley area of Birmingham, Alabama. Dedicated to Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ and patron of the universal Church, the parish serves Catholics in Jefferson County.

The parish is administered by diocesan clergy and continues to serve as a place of worship and community life for its surrounding neighborhood in western Birmingham.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the parish's presence in the historically industrial Ensley district reflects the broader pattern of Catholic parish establishment tied to the growth of Birmingham's steel and railroad industries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
