The St. John Paul II Church (Icelandic: Kirkja St. Jóhannesar Páls II) also called Parish of St. John Paul II, is the name given to a religious building belonging to the Roman Catholic Church and is located in Keilisvegi 775, in the town of Keflavik, Sudurnes (South Peninsula) in Iceland.

The temple follows the Roman or Latin rite and is under the jurisdiction of the Catholic Diocese of Reykjavík (Dioecesis Reykiavikensis) based in the capital of Iceland. As its name indicates, it was dedicated to the memory of John Paul II, which was declared a Saint on April 27, 2014 by the Pope Francis.

Due to the composition of the temple congregation it offers Masses in Icelandic and Polish.
