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