The St. Louis Bertrand Church (Papiamento: Parokia San Luis Beltran) is the name given to a religious building affiliated with the Catholic Church and is located in the town of Rincon on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, organized within the Dutch Caribbean as a special municipality of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The temple follows the Roman or Latin rite and depends on the Diocese of Willemstad (Dioecesis Gulielmopolitana) based in the nearby city of Willemstad on the island of Curacao also. It was dedicated in honor of San Luis Bertran i Eixarch O.P. (Also written Sant LluĂ­s Bertran) a Spanish saint of the Dominican order, canonized by Pope Clement X in 1691. It is decorated with yellow and white and has an image of St. Louis next to the main entrance and one side of his bell tower.
