The Our Lady of Ardilliers Church (French: Église Notre-Dame-des-Ardilliers de Miquelon) is a Catholic church located in Miquelon-Langlade, in the archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a dependent territory of France in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The church is located in the village of Miquelon, particularly in north of the city on the island of Miquelon. It was built near the port.

The church is rectangular. It is crowned with a gable roof. It was built entirely of wood.

The front of the church is topped with a steeple.

The present building was built between 1862 and 1865 to replace the first church in the archipelago, which was in disrepair. Inaugurated in 1865, the church is named in tribute to the father Ardilliers and his sister, a nun at Notre-Dame-des-Ardilliers in Saumur who got some of the funds needed to build the first church in Miquelon.

In the early twentieth century, the church was definitively established.
