The Church of Our Lady of the Forsaken and of Saint Joseph (Spanish: Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados y de San José), known commonly as the Church of the Forsaken (Spanish: Iglesia de los Desamparados), is a Catholic church located between Venezuela Avenue and the Jirón Recuay of the main square of Breña, in Lima, Peru.

The current building is the successor of the church built between 1669 and 1671, formerly located at the first block of Jirón Áncash until its demolition in 1937 to make way for the construction of posterior garden of the new Government Palace.
