Church of Saint Francis and Convent of Saint Antony and Chapel of the Third Order, Baroque church complex in João Pessoa, Brazil.

The Church of Saint Francis and Convent of Saint Antony and Chapel of the Third Order is a baroque ensemble in João Pessoa, Brazil. The site combines several connected spaces with carved woodwork, gilded surfaces, Portuguese tiles, and a museum for sacred art.

Franciscans arrived between late 1588 and early 1589, and a primitive convent was ready by mid-1590. The definitive plan came from Friar Francisco dos Santos in the early 17th century, but the present form results from 17th- and 18th-century renovations. Dutch invaders occupied it in 1634 and turned it into a fortification; after recovery, works concluded in 1661. The church facade was completed in 1779, the date carved on the frontispiece.

The complex is still commonly called by its old name, Convento de Santo Antônio, though the cultural centre uses São Francisco; the change came in the early 20th century after the chancel was remodelled and the 20 paintings of the friar's miracles on its ceiling were covered. The cloister, finished around 1730, keeps 17th-century polychrome plant-motif tiles that João Miguel dos Santos Simões judged probably the oldest in Brazil.

Visits are possible from Tuesday to Saturday during morning and afternoon hours, with shorter hours on Sunday. Admission is paid at the entrance and gives access to all areas including the adjoining museum.

The pulpit's gilded carving was judged by UNESCO to be without equal anywhere in the world, and researchers suspect indigenous hands shaped its ornament. The cloister, finished around 1730, keeps polychrome plant-motif tiles that João Miguel dos Santos Simões considered probably the oldest surviving in Brazil.
