St. Stanislaus Parish – built by Polish immigrants is in Meriden, Connecticut, United States.This Roman Catholic Parish was founded in 1891 and dedicated to the Bishop of Kraków, Stanislaus of Szczepanów, an 11th-century Polish Saint.

The parish built the first Polish Roman Catholic church in Connecticut, which from January 1893 served as the church until the building of the current Saint Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr Church in 1908, and as the school until the building of the current Saint Stanislaus Parochial School in 1915.
