St. Teresa's Carmelite Church is a Catholic church on Clarendon Street in Dublin, Ireland. Originally accessed via Wicklow Street, there is an additional entrance to the church off Johnson's Court near Grafton Street. The church was originally built between 1793 and 1810, and extensively redeveloped in the late 19th century. It is one of the oldest standing Catholic churches in Dublin, and is included, together with its priory, in the Record of Protected Structures maintained by Dublin City Council.Dedicated to Teresa of Ávila, the church is historically associated with the Discalced Carmelite Order. It was built on lands acquired by John Sweetman, a Dublin-based brewer, in the late 18th century. Daniel O'Connell reputedly held meetings in the church in the early nineteenth century.A statue of The Dead Christ (1829), by sculptor John Hogan, is beneath the church's high altar. Several interior works within the church, including an oratory (completed c. 1882) and altar (1891) are attributed to George Ashlin, with additional developments associated with William Hague and William Henry Byrne. A bronze sculpture on the church's bell tower, by Imogen Stuart, was unveiled in January 2008.
