The Church of Our Lady of Pamele, or Church of Our Lady's Nativity, is a church in the Belgian city of Oudenaarde. The church stands on the right bank of the Scheldt River, in the Pamele district. It was built between 1234 BC (1235 AD) and 1300.
The Lord of Oudenaarde and Pamele, Arnulf IV, commissioned the construction of the Church of Our Lady of Pamele. A plaque on the facade, very unusual at the time, indicates that Arnulf van Binche was the architect.

It was here that Margaret of Parma was baptized. The church is a fine example of Scheldt Gothic, with a striking mix of Romanesque and Gothic elements.
