St. Hildegard is a Catholic pilgrimage church and a former parish church in Eibingen, part of Rüdesheim am Rhein, Hesse, Germany. Its full name is St. Hildegard und St. Johannes der Täufer because it is not only dedicated to Hildegard of Bingen but also to John the Baptist. It was built on the ruins of the abbey church that Hildegard founded; her relics have been in the church since 1641. The walls around its grounds with a cemetery still date back to her time, as well as monuments in the church's floor. The parish belongs now to the Rheingauer Dom in Geisenheim.
