The San Agustin Parish, known as the Lubao Church is a 17th-century Neo-classic, Spanish stone and brick church located at Brgy. San Nicolas I, Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines. In 1952, a historical marker bearing a brief history of the structure was mounted on the facade of the church by the Historical Committee of the Philippines, pioneer of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.


In 2013, the church has been declared by the National Museum of the Philippines as an Important Cultural Property.  According to the requirements of the National Museum in declaring Important Cultural Properties, Lubao Church has been declared as an Important Cultural Property because of its significant architectural features and altarpiece.
