Saint Francis of Assisi Parish Church, commonly known as Buhi Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Buhi, Camarines Sur, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Caceres.

The church was destroyed by fire in 1730, and was damaged at various times by earthquakes. The present church was built between 1870 and 1884. The roof was destroyed by fire and fully repaired in 1890.[1]

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared it a national historical landmark in 1938.[1]
