Our Lady of Remedies Parish, commonly known as Malate Church, is a Roman Catholic parish church in the district of Malate in the city of Manila, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Manila. This Mexican Baroque-style church is overlooking Plaza Rajah Sulayman and, ultimately, Manila Bay. The church is dedicated to Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, the patroness of childbirth.^[2] A revered statue of the Virgin Mary under this title was brought from Spain in 1624, and is currently enshrined at the high altar.

Malate used to be known as Maalat due to the saline waters of the Bay fronting it; and as Laguio or Lagunoi, after the street which separated it from Ermita.^[3]
