The National Sanctuary of Saint Joseph of Anchieta (in Portuguese: Santuário Nacional de São José de Anchieta), formed by the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption (Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Assunção) and areas of the former Jesuit residence, is a Catholic temple located on a hillside on the Benevente River in the municipality of Anchieta, in Espírito Santo, Brazil.
The Catholic Church named the space the National Sanctuary of Saint Joseph of Anchieta due to his canonization by Pope Francis in 2014, his appointment as Brazil's co-patron saint in 2015, and because it was the place chosen by the priest to spend his last days.
In 1965, the Saint Joseph National Museum was created on the site, which preserves images, old liturgical objects from the church and objects from the former village of Reritiba.
