Located just outside the medieval city walls, this Catholic church holds a long history of religious life in the Province of Cádiz.

The Church of Santiago, or Iglesia de Santiago, is a Catholic church located in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. It is managed by the Junta de Andalucía and was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1931.

Positioned near Santiago square, the church is built outside the enclosure of the medieval city walls. It stands on the site of a chapel with the same name that was built during the period of the Spanish Reconquista.

The building hosts two religious associations known as Hermandades. These are the Hermandad del Prendimiento and the Hermandad del Rosario de Capataces y Costaleros.
