The Basilica of St. Sebastian is a church in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, Sicily, Italy, raised to the status of a minor basilica in 1991.

It stands in the Piazza Duomo with its main façade facing the Via Roma. It is the largest of the churches of Barcellona and the second-largest in the whole province of Sicily, only Messina Cathedral being larger. The present church was constructed in the 1930s, replacing an earlier one, under the direction of the engineer Franceso Barbaro; the works were carried out by the firm Fratelli Cardillo, who had previously collaborated with Barbaro in the construction of the Shrine of Christ the King in Messina.

Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto is not the seat of a bishop and the basilica is not a cathedral.
