The Church of St. Michael the Archangel and St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr (Polish: Kościół św. Michała Archanioła i św. Stanisława Biskupa i Męczennika), known colloquially as the Church on the Rock (Polish: Kościół na Skałce) and Small Rock (Polish: Skałka) is a historic Roman Catholic conventual church of the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit located at 15 Skałeczna Street in Kazimierz, the former district of Kraków, Poland.
The crypt beneath the church serves as a Panthéon to distinguished Poles and citizens of Kraków. It is said to be the place where Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów, Bishop of Kraków, was slain by the order of Polish king Bolesław II the Bold in 1079. This action resulted in the king's exile and the eventual canonization of the slain bishop.
