Notre-Dame de Runan is a Catholic church built between the late 14th and mid-16th centuries. It is located in the commune of Runan in the French department of Côtes-d'Armor in Brittany.
The building of the church benefited from the protection of the Dukes of Brittany, the commanderies of Le Palacret and La Feuillée of the Hospitallers of Saint John of Jerusalem, and the patronage of the local aristocracy. All these sponsors left their mark on the building's decoration: the Dukes of Brittany granted fairground privileges that enabled several campaigns of work to be financed; local nobles supported the construction of the bell tower-porch and the main window in 1423; and the Hospitaller Commander Pierre de Keramborgne financed the renovation of the south aisle, with the seigniorial chapel, and the southern portal with its sculpted portal in 1438.
The most important elements are the gabled southern front with its sculpted portal and the main window, whose tympanum bears the coat of arms and motto of Duke John V above lancets housing holy figures in front of precious hangings. These saints surmount the coats of arms of the local nobles who financed the stained glass.
The church was listed as a historic monument on December 19, 1907.
