Saint Anne Parish Church, commonly known as Magarao Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Magarao, Camarines Sur. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Caceres.

The first church was destroyed during an earthquake in 1811. The second church, built with nipa and bamboo, was destroyed in 1826. The present church was completed in 1849.[1]

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared it a national landmark and installed a historical marker on the church's facade in 1939.[2][1]
