Herz Jesu Zürich-Wiedikon, Roman Catholic church in Wiedikon district, Zürich, Switzerland.

The church features a basilica floor plan with a flat-roofed central nave and groin-vaulted side aisles, following Romanesque Revival design principles.

Construction of the church began in 1920 under architect Joseph Steiner, with consecration taking place in 1921 and formal dedication by Bishop Christian Caminada in 1956.

The interior displays windows depicting scenes from Mary's life, while Felix Baumhauer created wall paintings during the 1920s to enhance the spiritual environment.

The underground church, completed in 1969, accommodates 300 people and contains a granite altar along with an organ installed in 1994.

The church bells, dedicated in 1928, were crafted from melted Dutch cannons, creating a connection between military history and religious function.
