The San Nicolas de Tolentino Parish Church, commonly known as the Dimiao Church, is a Roman Catholic church in Dimiao, Bohol, Philippines.[1] It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Tagbilaran.

Built between 1797 and 1815, the church exhibits characteristics of Baroque architecture with Muslim influence.[2] The church complex is recognized by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines as a National Cultural Treasure.[3]

The church was damaged by the 2013 Bohol earthquake.[1][4][needs update]
