The Ermita del Cristo de la Vega is a Mudéjar hermitage church in Toledo, Spain, constructed on the foundations of the Visigothic Basílica de Santa Leocadia during the 7th century. Located in the Vega Baja de Toledo—a low plain area that once served as the city's old cemetery—the building occupies sacred ground. The vicinity housed the remains of Saint Idelfonsus, Saint Leocadia, and Saint Eugenius, though these relics were subsequently removed. Today the hermitage holds the status of bien de interés cultural (cultural heritage asset).
