Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and of St. Joseph (Polish: Kościół Wniebowzięcia NMP i św. Józefa Oblubieńca), commonly known as the Carmelite Church (Polish: Kościół Karmelitów), is a Roman Catholic church at Krakowskie Przedmieście 52/54 in Warsaw, Poland.

The Carmelite Church has Warsaw's most notable neoclassical-style façade, created in 1761–83. The church assumed its present appearance beginning in the 17th century and is best known for its twin belfries shaped like censers.
