The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Dominic (Spanish: Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santo Domingo), popularly known as Iglesia de los Domínicos, is a Roman Catholic parish church in the neighbourhood of Cordón, Montevideo, Uruguay.[1]

This church is unique in Uruguay as it is perhaps the only temple built in Neo-Mudéjar style in all the country; it also has a brick tower. Held by the Dominicans, it is dedicated to their patron saint Dominic and also to Our Lady of the Rosary.[2] It was consecrated on 6 January 1947.[3]

The parish was established on 18 May 1958.[1]
