The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Nice ({{langx|fr|Basilique Notre-Dame de Nice}}) is a Roman Catholic basilica situated on the Avenue Jean Médecin in the centre of Nice, in France. It is built in the Neo-Gothic architectural tradition.

The basilica, built between 1864 and 1868, was designed by Louis Lenormand and is the largest church in Nice,{{Cite web |url=http://www.nice.fr/Culture/Musique-classique/Les-concerts-de-Notre-Dame |title=website of the Mairie de Nice |access-date=2011-01-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718153333/http://www.nice.fr/Culture/Musique-classique/Les-concerts-de-Notre-Dame |archive-date=2011-07-18 |url-status=dead }} but is not the cathedral of the city.

Inspired by Angers Cathedral, it is built in the Gothic style. Its construction was motivated by a desire to add French architecture to the city following the acquisition of the County of Nice by France from the Kingdom of Sardinia; at the time Gothic buildings were considered to be characteristically French. Its most prominent features are two square towers 65 m high, which dominate the east front together with a large rose window featuring scenes of the Assumption of Mary.

On 29 October 2020, three people were killed at the church in an act of Islamic terrorism.{{cite news |date=29 October 2020 |title=France attack: Deadly stabbing in Nice 'is terrorism', says mayor |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54729957 |work=BBC News |access-date=29 October 2020}} The suspect was identified as a 21 year old Tunisian illegal immigrant,{{Cite news|last=Paris|first=Charles Bremner|title=Nice terror attack: migrant tried to behead victims|newspaper=The Times |language=en|url=https://www.thetimes.com/world/europe/article/nice-terror-attack-migrant-tried-to-behead-victims-k255cxd5m|access-date=2020-10-30|issn=0140-0460}}{{Cite web|date=2020-10-30|title=European Union urges quick WHO reform, asks for more transparency in pandemics|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/european-union-urges-quick-who-reform-asks-for-more-transparency-in-pandemics/story-ibsWqjqwYR0YkjGTXQxNmO.html|access-date=2020-10-30|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}} who had reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" while holding a Quran.{{Cite web|date=2020-10-30|title=France on alert amid mass protests|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/france-on-alert-amid-mass-protests/story-GdIwUQMP7SsibVs032YUGI.html|access-date=2020-10-30|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}
