St. Joseph the Worker Church stands in the parish of Our Lady of Fatima in the Iao Hon district of Macau. It is a Roman Catholic church and the main church of its neighborhood. Luis Tomás Piñeiro Nagy was the architect. The groundbreaking was in 1998, and the church was completed in 1999. In that year Bishop Domingos Lam Ka-tseung handed the parish to the Combonian fathers.

Fourteen oriental icons hang inside, depicting main Christian events from Abraham to Pentecost. A statue of the Holy Family stands on the main altar.

The church is a modern addition to a city better known for its colonial-era churches, and it remains in active use.
