Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Lithuanian: Švč. Mergelės Marijos Nekaltojo Prasidėjimo bažnyčia) is a Roman Catholic church in Žvėrynas, one of the neighborhoods of Vilnius, which was for the most part completed in 1925. The initial project of the church was only partly implemented as due to the Great Depression and World War II the towers of the church were not built.
