The Blessed Ladislas of Gielniów Church in Gielniów, Poland, is a Roman Catholic parish church belonging to the Drzewica deanery of the Radom diocese. It is dedicated to Blessed Ladislas of Gielniów.

The first church was likely founded in 1445 by Mściwój Mszczuj. The current church was built between 1861 and 1866. It is a brick building with three naves, oriented with the presbytery facing east, and constructed on a rectangular plan. The roof is adorned with a small tower (a sygnaturka). At the front, there is a bell tower, which houses three bells: one likely from 1768, another from 1777, and a third with no casting date. Inside, there are altars from the 19th century, made by Jan Szczepański from Opoczno. In the side altar, there is a painting of Our Lady of Częstochowa, topped with an Ecce Homo depiction, dating from the late 18th century, as well as a sculpture of Saint Barbara from the first half of the 18th century. Under the stone floor, according to Father Wiśniewski, there is an entrance to a crypt.^[1]
