The Virgin of Remedies of Pampanga (Latin: Virgo Remediorum de Pampangensis) also known as Vírgen de los Remedios de Pampanga is a Marian title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated by Capampangan Catholics as the official patroness of Pampanga, Philippines.

Pope Pius XII granted a Pontifical decree of coronation to the image on 15 July 1956. Its feast day is annually celebrated on September 8th and is often paired with a Crucifix called Santo Cristo del Perdon (English: the Holy Christ of Forgiveness) widely held by pious believers to combat Communism.
