The Church of Our Lady of Fatima (Spanish: Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Fátima) is a Roman Catholic parish church in the neighbourhood of Pocitos, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The parish was established on 1 May 1954. The temple is dedicated to the Virgin of Fatima. It is held by the Claretians, who also run the adjacent private school Colegio y Liceo Nuestra Señora de Fátima (established 1960). Originally the celebrations were held in a crypt under the school; the current temple was built in the early 1980s, in brickwork.
