Church of St. Anthony of Padua (Lithuanian: Šv. Antano Paduviečio bažnyčia, Samogitian: Šv. Ontana Padovėitė bažninčė) is a Roman Catholic church in Ukrinai, Lithuania.
The first church in Ukrinai was consecrated in 1784. Its construction was probably funded by a nobleman Laurynas Pilsudskis.[1] The nobility of Ukrinai and Bukončiai built a new church in 1803, however it burnt down after around half a century.[2]
Current wooden church was built in 1857 and in 1913 it was enlarged.[2]
Since 1853 Ukrinai has been a filial of Židikai parish.[1]
