The St. Nicodemus and St. Joseph of Arimathea Church is the name given to a religious building that is affiliated with the Catholic Church and is located in the town of Ramla the capital city of Central District in Israel.

The present church was built in the nineteenth century on a site that faithful Christians claim that is the biblical Arimathea, the hometown of Joseph, a character who, according to Christian tradition, was the owner of the tomb in which was deposited the body of Jesus after the crucifixion.

This is a managed by the order of the Franciscans, which has a square bell tower and a painting on the altar attributed to Titian and was donated by the city of Madrid in 1846.
