Tan Dinh Church, formally the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is a Roman Catholic church in Ho Chi Minh City's District 3, Vietnam. Built during the French colonial period and completed on 16 December 1876, it exemplifies the neo-Romanesque style with neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance elements typical of that era. Since 1957, the church has been painted a distinctive pastel pink on both exterior and interior surfaces, earning it the colloquial name "the pink church." As the second-largest church in Ho Chi Minh City after Notre-Dame Basilica, it serves as part of the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City, though it is a parish church rather than a cathedral.
