Knisja ta 'San Publiju, or the Church of St. Publius, is a notable Roman Catholic parish church located in Floriana, Malta. Dedicated to St. Publius, the first bishop of Malta and considered a patron saint of the island, the church holds significant cultural and religious importance. Traditionally, it is believed that St. Publius offered refuge to St. Paul following his shipwreck on the island.

Construction began in the 18th century, but the church suffered considerable damage during World War II and was subsequently restored. A visit to the church is particularly interesting during the annual feast of St. Publius, celebrated in April, when the area comes alive with processions and local festivities.
