The Parish of the Holy Sacrifice, also known as the Church of the Holy Sacrifice, is a landmark Roman Catholic chapel on the University of the Philippines Diliman campus. It belongs to the Diocese of Cubao and its present parish priest is Rev. Fr. Nelson C. Orqueta[1]. More popularly known as the UP Chapel, the church was constructed under the supervision of Fr. John P. Delaney, who began ministering to the spiritual needs of the campus in 1947.

Known for its architectural design and the works of five national artists,[2] the church is recognized as a National Historical Landmark and a Cultural Treasure by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, and the National Museum of the Philippines respectively. It was designed by the late National Artist of the Philippines for Architecture, Leandro Locsin, one of four National Artists who collaborated on the project. Alfredo Juinio served as the structural engineer for the project.

The church is adjacent to the U.P. Health Service Building and the former U.P. Shopping Center, and is serviced by all of the university's jeepney routes.
