Local nameÉglise Saint-Jacques-sur-Coudenberg - Sint-Jacob-op-Koudenberg
LocationPentagon, Brussels, Belgium

The Church of St. James on Coudenberg is a Catholic church located on the historic Place Royale/Koningsplein, in the Royal Quarter of Brussels, Belgium. It is dedicated to Saint James, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus.

The neoclassical church was designed by the architects Gilles-Barnabé Guimard and Louis Montoyer and built from 1776 to 1787, replacing two neighbouring places of worship. In the 19th century, a dome and bell tower, as well as a coloured fresco, were added to it. The complex was designated a historic monument in 1959. Nowadays, it ranks as royal parish church, and since 1986, as cathedral of the Military Ordinariate of Belgium.

This site is served by Brussels-Central railway station, as well as by the metro stations Parc/Park and Trône/Troon.
