De Sint-Dimpnakerk is een gotische kerk te Geel. Ze wordt qua bouwstijl tot de Demergotiek gerekend. Het is een kruisbasiliek met vieringtoren en zware hoofdtoren.

De kerk is gewijd aan de Heilige Dimpna, die volgens de legende hier in 600 onthoofd en begraven moet zijn: als men schreef 30 may ses hondert jaer - s. Dymphna hier onthalst is van haer eygen vaer. Het was een bedevaartskerk, waarbij vooral genezing gezocht werd voor psychiatrische patiënten. Mogelijk lag hier de oorspronkelijke kern van Geel, maar deze verplaatste zich allengs naar de huidige Markt, waar zich de Sint-Amandskerk bevindt, die als de oudste parochiekerk van Geel fungeert.
