The Church of Saint Barbara in Zamoscie is a Catholic church in Belarus built in 1620. It is currently listed as part of the cultural heritage of Belarus.[1]

The church was built with donations from the local nobleman Andrej Samuil Vinki-Ratomski. According to some historians, at first it belonged to the Calvinists, but was re-consecrated in the aftermath of the January Uprising.[2]
