Santa Maria della Pace is a church in Rome, central Italy, not far from Piazza Navona. The building lies in rione Ponte.

The current building was built on the foundations of the pre-existing church of Sant'Andrea de Aquarizariis in 1482, commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV. The church was rededicated to the Virgin Mary to commemorate a miraculous bleeding of a Madonna image there in 1480. The author of the original design is not known, though Baccio Pontelli has been proposed.

The church of Santa Maria della Pace was built at the behest of Pope Sixtus IV (r. 1471-84). Its design has been ascribed, without much evidence, to the Florentine architect Bacio Pontelli (c. 1450-92).

In 1656 the Baroque facade, with its semi-circular porch, was added by Pietro da Cortona (1596-1669), on the orders of Pope Alexander VII (r. 1655-67). The inscription is taken from Psalm 72: SVSCIPIANT · MONTES · PACEM · POPVLO · ET · COLLES · IVSTITIAM (The mountains shall bring peace to the people and the hills justice). The quotation is a reference to the 'montini' (a pyramid of small hills), which forms part of the coat of arms of the Chigi family, to which the pope belonged. The facade is crowned with two sets of montini.
