Sanktuarium Matki Bożej z Meritxell to bazylika znajdująca się w mieście Meritxell, w andorskiej parafii Canillo. Czci się w niej Dziewicę z Meritxell, patronkę Księstwa Andory.
Pierwotnym wizerunkiem rzeźby była romańska rzeźba z XII wieku, której buty były popularnie znane jako "Mare de Déu dels Esclops" i która została zniszczona w pożarze w 1972 roku. Obecny wizerunek, do którego nawiązano tak wiernie, jak to tylko możliwe, znajduje się w nowym Sanktuarium Meritxell
