The Church of the Conception (Spanish: Iglesia de la Concepción) is a Neogothic Catholic church[1] in Madrid, Spain.

It is located on Calle Goya at the corner of Calle de Núñez de Balboa [es], and its construction was carried out between 1912 and 1914.[2] The architect in charge of the church's design was Eugenio Jiménez Corera [es; ca; fr] until his death in 1910. Another architect, Jesús Carrasco-Muñoz [es; arz], finished the work.[3] The tower—with a height of 43.7 m (143 ft)—[2] is topped with an iron spire, itself crowned by a sculpture of the Immaculate Conception.[4] King Alfonso XIII of Spain and his consort Queen Victoria Eugenie attended the church's opening; the ceremony took place 11 May 1914.[1] The building has undergone several renovations: in the 1950s, in 1985 and 2013.[1]

On 8 July 1977 Boletín Oficial del Estado published a report requesting the church's declaration as Bien de Interés Cultural.[5]
