The church of the Santissima Annunziata was a church in the city of Messina. Built in 1607, it was embellished in 1660 by Guarino Guarini. It was destroyed, in part, by the earthquake of 1783. Restored and open to worship, in 1796, it was destroyed, along with the adjacent Teatini college since the 1908 earthquake.It occupied the current area of the Church of Sant'Antonio Abate on Corso Cavour.

The Church of the Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani dates back to the 12th century, when Sicily was under Norman rule. It is in fact one of the examples of Norman architecture in Sicily as well as one of the few buildings in the city to have resisted earthquakes over the centuries.
