Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Lithuanian: Švč. Jėzaus Širdies bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in the Vilnius Old Town, which was built in 1694–1756 and consecrated in 1756.

Initially, it was part of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary's monastery complex. Later it was part of the Vilnius Correctional Institution complex. However, in 2007 the church and monastery were returned to the Lithuanian Catholic Church and in 2012 nuns established a hospice.
