The Basílica Menor de San Pedro Bautista (Minor Basilica of Saint Pedro Bautista), also known as the San Francisco del Monte Church and alternatively as Santuario de San Pedro Bautista, is a minor basilica and parish church in the San Francisco del Monte district of Quezon City, Philippines. It is one of the oldest churches in the country and the oldest in the city, having been built in 1590. The church is dedicated to its founder, Pedro Bautista, a Spanish missionary from Ávila, Spain, who was one of 26 Christians martyred in Japan in 1597 and venerated as saints by the Church.
The shrine is in the Diocese of Cubao under the Vicariate of Saint Pedro Bautista. It is also under the administration of the Franciscans or the Order of Friars Minor (OFM), from the Franciscan Province of Saint Pedro Bautista.
The parish covers six barangays: Damayan, Del Monte, Mariblo, Paraiso, Santa Cruz, and Talayan. It is bounded by Pat Senador Street to the west, Quezon Avenue to the east, Araneta Avenue to the south, and Judge Juan Luna Street to the north.
