San Geremia is a church in Venice, northern Italy, located in the sestiere of Cannaregio.
The apse of the church faces the Grand Canal (Venice), between the Palazzo Labia and the Palazzo Flangini.
The edifice is popular as the seat of the cult of Saint Lucy of Syracuse, whose remains are housed inside.
