The Stella Maris Church (Spanish: Iglesia Stella Maris) is a Roman Catholic parish church in the neighbourhood of Carrasco, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The temple was built in 1918, designed by architect Rafael Ruano. It is dedicated to Our Lady, Star of the Sea, in allusion to the fact that Carrasco was a seaside resort when it was established at the beginning of the 20th century.
The parish was established on 24 February 1934.
Years ago was added the wooden image of a Christ Pantocrator in the main altar.
In the front yard can be seen an image of the Virgin of the Thirty-Three, patron saint of Uruguay.
