    The Church of the Seat of Mary, Greek: Ecclesia Kathismatis, from Kathisma Seat, which is also the name mostly used in literature, was a 5th-century Byzantine church in the Holy Land, located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. It was built on the supposed resting place of Mary on the road to Bethlehem mentioned in the Proto-Gospel of James.

It is the first church known to have been dedicated to the Theotokos in the entire Byzantine Empire.
