Our Lady of Victories Basilica is a Roman Catholic church in the Melbourne suburb of Camberwell, Victoria, Australia. Designed by architect Augustus Andrew Fritsch in the Romanesque Revival style and completed in 1918, it stands on Burke Road. In a city where most churches of its era are Gothic Revival, it is distinguished by a copper-clad dome topped with a golden statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope John Paul II raised it to minor basilica status in 1996, one of five such churches in Australia.
