San Giovanni Fuoricivitas is a Romanesque religious church and adjacent buildings in Pistoia, Tuscany, central Italy. The adjective fuoricivitas refers to it location, outside of the first set of city walls, when it was founded during the era of Lombard rule in Italy.
No traces remain of the original Lombard edifice. The first document mentioning the church dates to 1119, when the church was described by Bishop Ildebrand as "nearly in ruins". In his Guide to Pistoia, the author Tolomei cites references to this church as a priory in either 12th or 13th century. Others mention it was likely a collegiate church before that time. The current building was most likely begun soon afterward, erected in the typical orientation with apse to the west. Construction lasted until 1344.
