San Martino ai Monti, officially known as Santi Silvestro e Martino ai Monti ("Saints Sylvester & Martin in the Mountains"), is a minor basilica in Rome, Italy, in the Rione Monti neighbourhood. It is located near the edge of the Parco del Colle Oppio, near the corner of Via Equizia and Viale del Monte Oppio, about five to six blocks south of Santa Maria Maggiore.

The current Cardinal Priest with title to the basilica is Kazimierz Nycz, the Archbishop of Warsaw. Among the previous titulars are Alfonso de la Cueva; Joseph Mary Tomasi, C.R.; Achille Ratti, later Pope Pius XI; Ildefonso Schuster, O.S.B.; and Gianbattista Montini, later Pope Paul VI.

The parish is served by members of the Italian Province of the Carmelite Order and the residence next door to the church houses the offices of the Province.
