Římskokatolická farnost-děkanství Teplice v Čechách, Catholic parish in Teplice, Czech Republic

The deanery church of St. John the Baptist stands on Zámecké náměstí in Teplice. It was built in 1585–1594 on the foundations of an earlier town church, and its tower was finished in 1594. In 1700–1703 the church was rebuilt, enlarged and given its Baroque form, with further alterations in 1789, 1877 and 1890.

The Teplice deanery existed before 1655, when the new Litoměřice diocese took over the area from the Prague archdiocese; its first dean under that diocese was Melchior Henricus Tschauder, appointed in 1660.
