San Teodoro Church, Gothic Revival church in San Teodoro district, Genoa, Italy.

San Teodoro Church stands at the start of Via Venezia, its three-part facade clad in travertine and centred on a tall bell tower with a pyramidal spire. Inside, three naves are divided by eight octagonal ribbed pillars carrying pointed arches banded in white and black, with thirteen altars and a polygonal apse.

The original church, documented from the 10th century, stood on a cliff at Fassolo; Bishop Airaldo Guaracco gave it to the Mortariensi canons in 1097, and he consecrated the Romanesque rebuilding on 20 July 1100. It was demolished with gunpowder charges on 4 October 1870 to make way for the port's Magazzini Generali. The present neo-Gothic church was built between 1871 and 1876 to a design by the Palermo-born architect Vittore Garofalo, and was consecrated in November 1876 by Giovanni Battista Scalabrini, bishop of Piacenza.

The parish was served by the Lateran canons for over five centuries until August 2013, when the Institute of the Incarnate Word took over. The church keeps works moved from the old building, including two 16th-century Lomellini tombs by Antonio Della Porta and Pace Gaggini, and a Luca Baudo altarpiece of Saint Augustine with Saints Monica and Ambrose.

The church stands at the start of via Venezia, its main entrance on the uphill part of piazza Dinegro, named in 2014 after don Bruno Venturelli, parish priest from 1945 to 1991. The facade faces the square above the railway line, so access is from the Dinegro side rather than the port below.

The architect was Vittore Garofalo, a Palermo-born designer, not Daneri. The church, built 1871–1876, is the only one in Genoa in pure Gothic Revival style. Its travertine facade cladding was completed in 1963 to a design by Angelo Sibilla.
