The Parroquia y Santuario Archidiocesano de San Antonio de Padua, commonly known as Saint Anthony of Padua Parish Church and Iriga Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Iriga, Camarines Sur. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Caceres.

The first church was burned in 1585. The second church was damaged by a typhoon and destroyed by fire. The third church was constructed in 1727 but was also burned in 1841. The present church together with two belfries was constructed shortly afterwards.[1] The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) declared it a national landmark in 1939.[2][1]
