Laketown Moravian Brethren's Church (also known as Lake Auburn Moravian Church) is a historic church on County Highway 11 in Victoria, Minnesota, United States.

The congregation was organized on October 31, 1858, at the house of John Holtmeier. In 1860 a log church was built on land that Holtmeier donated to the congregation. In 1878, a brick church was built near the previous site, at a cost of $2500, with 74 members in the congregation.

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was nominated for being a well-preserved example of rural vernacular religious architecture, marking a transition between the spartan frame designs of Carver County's earliest churches and its elaborate later churches of brick.
