'''Sant'Eugenio''' is a titular church in Rome, Italy, dedicated to Pope Eugene I (r. AD 654–657).

==History== The first church here was built in a style imitating and updating the Baroque, sometimes called 'Mussolini Baroque'. The church was established by Pope Pius XII, in honor of his patron saint (his baptismal name was Eugenio Pacelli), and was funded by gifts he received on the Silver Jubilee of his episcopate in 1942. He consecrated its altar in 1951.
