Sant Climent de Taüll is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Vall de Boí in Catalonia. Bishop Guillem Ramon of Roda-Barbastro consecrated it on December 10, 1123, although the date of construction is unknown. It is a Romanesque basilica with Lombard and Byzantine influences, with three naves that each end in an apse, separated by large columns. The exterior is stone and brick, and the roof beams are wood. It has few windows.
The slim bell tower has a square plan, with a base and six floors.
The central apse once held the mural of Christ in Majesty, about four meters across. It was removed early in the twentieth century to protect it. It is now in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, and a replica stands in the church. UNESCO listed the church in 2000 with the Catalan Romanesque churches of the Vall de Boí.
