San Giorgio in Velabro is a church in Rome, Italy, dedicated to St. George.

The church is located next to the Arch of Janus in the rione of Ripa in the ancient Roman Velabrum. According to the founding legend of Rome, the church was built where Roman history began: it is near here that the mythical she-wolf[clarification needed] found the mythical babies, Romulus and Remus.[1] The façade of the church encroaches upon and incorporates the ancient Arcus Argentariorum.

San Giorgio in Velabro is the station church for the first Thursday in Lent.
