The Church of Santiago (Template:Lang-es or Santiago el mayor) is a Roman Catholic church in the town of Sariego, in the community of Asturias, Spain.

Originally built in the 10th century, the church has pre-Romanesque windows reminiscent of those of the Church of San Salvador de Valdediós. (Pre-Romanesque architecture in Asturias is framed between the years 711 and 910, the period of the creation and expansion of the kingdom of Asturias).[1] It was refurbished in the 15th or 16th centuries.

The church was burned down during the Spanish Civil war and rebuilt.[citation needed].
