The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Polish: Kościół Niepokalanego Poczęcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Warszawie) is a church in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.

Designed by architect Oskar Sosnowski, construction started in 1910 but was interrupted in 1914. Before construction resumed in 1927 the church hosted the parish of St. James the Apostle.

During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 the building was heavily damaged, losing almost all equipment, its roof, and its precious stained glass windows by H. Bardzińska.
