The Church of Saint Mary, the Help of Christians in Via Tuscolana (Latin: Sancta Mariae Auxiliatricis Christianorum in via Tusculana) is a Roman Catholic Marian shrine, titular church and Minor Basilica of Rome.

Pope Paul VI established the Titular church Sancta Mariæ Auxiliatricis in via Tusculana on 7 June 1967 via the Apostolic Constitution Ad Gubernacula Christianæ. He raised it to the status of Minor Basilica via the Pontifical Decree Dulcia Christi Verba on 1 April 1969.
