San Giuseppe is a Baroque-style, Roman Catholic church located in the city of Ragusa, in southern Sicily, Italy.
A church was erected here in 1756-1796 under the patronage of the Benedictine order. The church and an adjacent convent of nuns occupied a site where prior to the 1693 earthquake, a church dedicated San Tommaso had been located. The architect is unknown, but in the circle of Rosario Gagliardi. Like many local churches, the façade has three highly sculpted orders, decorated with statues of saints of the Benedictine orders, including Saints Benedict and Mauro above and Saints Gertrude and Scholastica below. Flanking the entrance are statues of St Pope Gregory the Great and St Augustine by Giambattista Muccio in 1775. Above the entrance portals were iron grillwork screens by Filippo Scattarelli; these screens allowed the nuns to view religious processions.
