The Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel is a Roman Catholic shrine and sacred cave in Monte Sant'Angelo near San Giovanni Rotondo in the province of Foggia, Puglia in Italy. The Archangel Michael is said to have appeared here in 490, 492 and 1656 and consecrated the shrine himself.

Pope John Paul II visited the sanctuary in 1987.

The sanctuary has been a site of Catholic pilgrimage for centuries. For instance, John of Gorze visited the sanctuary in the 10th century. Some Catholic pilgrimages start from Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy France and end at this sanctuary in Italy.
