Santa Maria della Catena, also known as Santa Maria del Porto, is a church in the Borgo Santa Lucia district of Naples, Italy. Founded in 1576 by local inhabitants and dedicated to the Madonna della Catena, it was rebuilt in the 17th century by Carmelo Passero, with its cupola decoration completed by Gabriele Barrile and Andrea Canale. The church holds the tomb of the painter Jusepe de Ribera, called Spagnoletto, and the burial of Admiral Francesco Caracciolo, who was executed on the orders of Horatio Nelson and whom the neighbourhood's fishermen regarded as one of their own.
