The Church of St. Anthony[1] is a parish of the Catholic Church located at 26 Middle Road in the town of Warwick[2] in the south of the main island of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda,[3] in the Diocese of Hamilton in Bermuda (Dioecesis Hamiltonensis in Bermuda).

It was built and consecrated between 1957 and 1958.[4]

Its name derives from the devotion of the Portuguese community in Bermuda to St. Anthony of Lisbon (Santo António de Lisboa), better known as St. Anthony of Padua, a priest of the Franciscan Order, preacher and Portuguese theologian.
