La iglesia de los Padres Franciscanos, es un templo dedicado a San Antonio de Padua y ubicado en la plaza de Carlos Lobo en Avilés, Asturias. Se construyó en el siglo XII y conserva su portada románica. Sobre la portada de la iglesia se conserva la huella de un tejado que recuerdo haber visto en alguna foto antigua.
