The Church of St. Catherine (French: Église Sainte-Catherine; Dutch: Sint-Katelijnekerk) is a Catholic parish church in Brussels, Belgium. It is dedicated to Saint Catherine.

The current church was designed by the architect Joseph Poelaert and built between 1854 and 1874 on the site of a basin of the former Port of Brussels, replacing an older church dating back to the 15th century. The complex was designated a historic monument in 1981.

The church is located on the Place Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijneplein, in the Quays or Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne Quarter. This site is served by Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne metro station on lines 1 and 5 of the Brussels Metro.
