Church of the Immaculate Conception, Dublin, Roman Catholic church in Merchants Quay, Dublin, Ireland.

The church stands on Merchants Quay with an interior featuring gilded decorations, transepts, and a central altar designed by architect Patrick Byrne.

Founded in 1834 and dedicated to the Immaculate Conception in 1889, this church replaced an older structure from 1759 on the same location.

The church maintains strong connections to literature as it appears in James Joyce's works, including references in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.

The church operates daily masses and ceremonies within the South City Centre deanery of the Archdiocese of Dublin, with regular streaming services available.

The church houses what may be Dublin's largest Catholic pipe organ, constructed in 1936 by T.W. Magahy with approximately 3,000 pipes.
