Sante Orsola e Caterina was a small Roman Catholic confraternity church located near a convent found in Tor de' Specchi, on the western slopes of the Campidoglio, in the rione Campitelli of Rome, Italy. The church was torn down to make space for a highway.

The church was built at the site of a parish church once called San Niccolò de Funari.[1] The church was transferred to a confraternity, made archconfraternity under Clement X, and rededicated to St Ursula and St Catherine, and rebuilt under the designs of Carlo de Dominicis.[2]
