Ursulinenkirche is a church in Linz, Austria, with a curved late Baroque façade and two front towers. It was built for the Ursuline order and dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Johann Haslinger shaped the design, while figures by Franz Ignaz Mähl and Ignaz Hiebel decorate the façade.

The construction lasted from 1736 until around 1772. The church connects to the former Ursuline convent, which became Ursulinenhof, a provincial cultural centre. Inside, a single nave holds Baroque sculptures, Bartolomeo Altomonte’s altarpieces, and a high altar designed by Johann Matthias Krinner. Martino Altomonte painted its centrepiece between 1738 and 1740. Since 1985, it has served as an art centre, concert hall, and parish church for Forum St. Severin.

Above the 1740 chancel, the sounding board shows Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. An organ built by Franz Sales Ehrlich in 1876 was restored by Kuhn in 2006 and remains in use.
