Church of Saint John the Baptist in Skalbmierz, Roman Catholic church in Skalbmierz, Poland.

The church building displays both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, with two preserved towers and a three-aisle basilica structure at its core.

Founded in the early 12th century, the church underwent reconstruction in 1235 under Prince Konrad Mazowiecki and served as a meeting place for Lesser Poland knights in 1243.

The building served as both a parish and collegiate church until 1819, with the first documented provost, Gumbertus, appearing in historical records from 1217.

The church maintains its function within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kielce and stands at coordinates 50.31688 latitude and 20.396388 longitude in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship.

An earthquake in 1443 led to extensive reconstruction, incorporating earlier walls and towers into a new Gothic design under Provost Jakub of Sienno's supervision.
