San Barnaba is a Roman Catholic church located at the intersection of Via Giovanni Chiassi and Via Carlo Poma in Mantua.
The first church at the site was dedicated to St Barnabas, the first bishop of Milan, and was noted at the site by 1263. The church was provided by Francesco I Gonzaga in 1397 to a convent of nuns of the Servite Order. In 1737, the church was rebuilt with a new façade designed by the architect Antonio Galli Bibiena. The adjacent cloister was destroyed in 1900.
The interior contains the following works:
