The Church of the Most Holy Name of Mary at the Trajan Forum (Italian: Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano, Latin: Ss. Nominis Mariae ad forum Traiani) is a Roman Catholic church in Rome, Italy. This church should not be confused with the church Santissimo Nome di Maria in Via Latina in south-east Rome.
The pale marble church stands in front of the Column of Trajan,[1] a few dozen steps from the similarly domed, but externally more colorful, church of Santa Maria di Loreto.
