48°11′5.6″N 17°2′13.34″E / 48.184889°N 17.0370389°E / 48.184889; 17.0370389 Church of the Holy Spirit is a church in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The cornerstone was sanctified by Pope John Paul II. It is an atypical building with an unusual roof, 30m high. It has a circular shape and consists of church and pastoral sections. The church was designed by architects Ľudovít Režucha and Marián Lupták. Instead of an altar picture on the wall, there is a metal sculpture of the Holy Spirit depicted as a dove, by Monsignor Ladislav Jurovatý. The church section has capacity of roughly 600 visitors.
