The church Sainte-Catherine de Touchebeuf is a religious monument located in the commune of Sainte-Magnance, in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history.

In the Burgundy countryside, parish churches like Sainte-Catherine played a central role in community life.
