Saint Vincent Ferrer Parish Church, commonly known as Sabtang Church, is a Roman Catholic church located near Sabtang Port in Sabtang, Batanes, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Territorial Prelature of Batanes. Originally a small chapel in 1785 when the Sabtang mission first opened by the Dominicans,[1][2] the church underwent few modifications until 1984. A short distance to the right of the church's façade stands a pedestal with a stone statue of Saint Vincent Ferrer, the patron saint of the parish and of the municipality.
The church and site of the convent was declared a National Historical Landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in 2008.[3]
