St. Michael is a Roman Catholic parish church in Sillenbuch, Stuttgart, recognised as a cultural monument in Baden-Württemberg. Built from 1952 to 1953, it presents a hall church with a main nave, side aisle, and recessed choir. Two sacristies flank the choir, while the northeast corner carries a bell tower with five bells.

Hans Herkommer designed the building, which was consecrated on 22 February 1953 for the Archangels Michael and Augustine. Clerestory windows give the nave a basilica-like appearance. Wilhelm Geyer's stained glass colours the choir and side aisle, while an elevated gallery holds a Rieger organ. Built in 1963, the instrument contains twenty-two registers across two manuals and a pedal.

Otto Herbert Hajek shaped the interior furnishings, including a shell-limestone baptismal font with an iron-sheet lid. A terracotta holy-water basin, tabernacle, ambo, and apostle crosses add further crafted details. In 1973, R. Verstege's altar replaced the main altar, cross, and candlesticks, while Friedrich Lieb renovated the organ in 2018. Wheelchair accessibility adds a practical welcome to this carefully detailed Stuttgart landmark.
