Chiesa dei Domenicani, also called Dominikanerkirche, is a medieval church in Bolzano, South Tyrol, northern Italy. Its Gothic structure belongs among Tyrol’s earliest examples.

Dominicans founded the church, completing its construction in the thirteenth century outside Bolzano’s city walls. The surrounding quarter later developed into Bolzano’s Neustadt. Inside, a single hall carries two rows of octagonal pillars and leads towards the presbytery. The presbytery has an eighteenth-century Baroque design. The church and cloister received new Gothic vaults during the fifteenth century.

Several frescoes fill the church and cloister, including Madonna and Saints by Haus Stotzinger, a Veronese Madonna Enthroned, and Four Saints from Martino da Verona’s school. St John’s Chapel contains a Giottoesque cycle. Its imagery includes one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and sinners below. Guercino’s Vision of Soriano stands at the end of the apse. The altarpiece presents the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Catherine of Alexandria in a Dominican vision. Friedrich Pacher painted cloister walls with scenes from the Life of Jesus and Mary. St Catherine’s Chapel lies beyond the cloister. Its fourteenth-century Giottoesque frescoes add another layer of decoration.
