Chiesa di Santa Margherita in Trastevere, Renaissance parish church in Trastevere, Rome, Italy.

The church features a single nave with three lateral chapels, decorated with precious marble and covered by a barrel vault ceiling.

Cardinal Girolamo Gastaldi commissioned architect Carlo Fontana to rebuild the structure in 1680, changing its original orientation from 1288.

The main altar displays a painting by Giacinto Brandi depicting Saint Margaret defeating the demon, representing religious art of the period.

The church stands at Piazza Sant'Apollonia 13 in the Trastevere district, maintaining regular services for the local Catholic community.

Roman archaeological structures were discovered beneath the church during restoration work directed by Giuliano Sacchi in 1996.
