The Collegiate Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Polish: Kolegiata Wniebowzięcia Najświętszej Maryi Panny w Kłodzku) is a Gothic collegiate church in Kłodzko, Poland, one of the landmarks of its Old Town. It was constructed from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries, and houses the remains of Arnošt of Pardubice, the first Archbishop of Prague.
