The Ss. Stimmate di San Francesco ("Church of the Holy Stigmata of St. Francis") is a church in central Rome, Italy, in the Rione Pigna, sited where previously there was a church called Ss. Quaranta Martiri de Calcarario. It is located on Via dei Cestari, near the corner with Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and across the street and diagonal from the Largo di Torre Argentina.
The first church in this location was consecrated in 1297. In 1597, the land was given by Pope Clement VIII to the Confraternita delle Ss.Stimmate; the construction of a new building was completed in 1714, from designs by Giovanni Battista Contini.
