The St. Mary Help of Christians Church or simply Sana'a Catholic church is the name given to a religious building that is located in the town of Sana'a, the capital of the Asian country of Yemen.

The temple follows the Roman or Latin rite and depends on the Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia (Vicariatus Apostolicus Arabiæ Meridionalis or النيابة الرسولية من جنوب الجزيرة العربية) formerly known as Apostolic Vicariate of Aden, but name change under Pope Benedict XVI in 2011 with the decree "Bonum animarum" of the congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (Congregatio pro gentium evangelizatione).

This is one of the 4 subsiten Catholic churches in that nation, the others being dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi (Aden), Sacred Heart of Jesus (Hodeidah) and St. Therese of the Child Jesus (Taiz).
