Mauban Church, also known as Saint Bonaventure Parish Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Mauban, Quezon, Philippines. First built in 1647, the church was later demolished and rebuilt in 1773. It was damaged by an 1880 earthquake that hit the town.[1] The present structure was completed in 1891.[2]

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the church a national historical landmark in 1939.[3]
