Santa Maria Antica is a Roman Catholic church in Verona, Italy. The current church dates to 1185, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1117 destroyed the original 7th century building that dated to the Lombards.

It is next to the family Cemetery Scaliger Tombs of the 13th century rulers of Verona. The church has a small bell tower and around 1600s the church interior was changed to baroque, but at the end of the nineteenth century the church was restored and has resumed its original appearance.

Archiologists have discovered about 50 11th century burials in the vicinity iof the church.
