St. Thérèse of Lisieux Church, Chongqing, also known as Jiangbei St. Thérèse Church, is a Catholic church located in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, southwestern China. Originally constructed in 1855, it underwent destruction and subsequent reconstruction multiple times during the Qing dynasty. It has been subjected to the control of the state-sanctioned Catholic Patriotic Association since 1957. The church was seized during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) but was later returned and reopened in the late 20th century. In 2008, it was relocated to its current position.
