Collegiata di S. Maria a Mare, Roman Catholic church in Maiori, Italy.

The church stands on a hill in central Maiori with three naves, featuring a coffered ceiling and a majolica-covered hemispherical dome.

Built in the 13th century, the church received collegiate status in 1506 through a papal bull issued by Pope Julius II.

The central nave displays a 1529 coffered ceiling created by Neapolitan painter Alessandro de Fulco, commissioned by local noble families.

The church includes a crypt housing the remains of Saint Clement and the Don Clemente Confalone Museum of Sacred Art.

A wooden statue of Saint Mary, discovered on the beach in 1204, gave the church its name and remains central to local worship.
