The Church of Saint Athanasius (, ), also known as '''Sant'Atanasio dei Greci' (, Ekklisia Agiou Athanasiou ton Ellinon), is a Greek Catholic titular church located on Via del Babuino 149, near the Spanish Steps, in the rione Campo Marzio of Rome, Italy.

==History== The church was built in 1577 for use of a Greek College for the formation of Catholic clergy in the Eastern Rite. Construction was patronized by the Pope Gregory XIII and the Jesuit order to promulgate and serve the interests forming a Congregation of the Greeks.
