The old Oton Church, also known as the Immaculate Conception Parish Church, was a gothic-neoclassical Roman Catholic church located in Oton, Iloilo, Philippines. Once one of the largest churches in the country, it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1948. The largest and grandest in the Visayas, it's referred by many as their mother church in Western Visayas. Since the replacement of the church complex (including the convent) with an inferior structure after it was damaged and demolished, generations have called for its full authentic restoration.
