The Hermitage of Santa María de La Piscina (Spanish: Ermita de Santa María de La Piscina) is a medieval church located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, La Rioja, Spain. It was consecrated in 1137.
It was apparently founded by Ramiro Sánchez to house relics from the Holy Land, notably a supposed fragment of the True Cross. The dedication of the building refers to the Pool of Bethesda.
