Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Parish Church, also known as Quipayo Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Calabanga, Camarines Sur, Philippines.

The original church was established by Franciscan missionaries in 1578[1] and was made of wood and nipa;[2] in 1616, a brick structure was built to replace it.[3] The church's facade was made of ladrillo, a kind of rockhard, reddish-brown brick.[4] 

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the Baroque church a national historical landmark in 1979.[1]
