The Iglesia de San Juan Bautista (English: Church of Saint John the Baptist) in Maricao, Puerto Rico is a church built during 1890-c.1898. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2000.

Its facade, facing onto the plaza of Maricao, is dominated by a three-level square bell tower, whose first level is a portico and which is capped by a pyramidal concrete roof. Its exterior has Gothic-style pointed arches; its interior has more traditional rounded arches. It has a nave and two aisles. The church's original roof was replaced in 1965 by a metal joist structure supporting corrugated asbestos sheets.

It was designed by engineer Jeronimo Jiminez Coranado.

It is one of 31 churches reviewed for listing on the National Register in 1984.
