Sant Martí de Puigcercós was the former Romanesque parish church of the village of Puigcercós. It is located at the top of the hill where the old village and the castle of Puigcercós were once situated.
The church belonged to the enclave of Puigcercós, in the former term of Palau de Noguera, within the municipality of Tremp. It appears to have been a single-nave building, covered with a barrel vault reinforced with transverse arches and featuring a semicircular apse to the east.
Dating back to the 12th century, the structure contains construction details of certain sculptural work, such as beveled imposts, though these are currently difficult to see among the ruins. In the 19th century, the old church was replaced by the new church of Sant Martí de Puigcercós.
