The church of San Zeno in Oratorio, also known as the church of San Zenetto, is a Catholic place of worship located in the San Zeno district of Verona, a short walk from Castelvecchio; it is part of the diocese of Verona.

This name was assumed only from the 16th century, whereas previously the small church was called "San Zeno Oratore" or "San Zeno Orante," as it traditionally stands in the favorite place of St. Zeno, who used to retire there to pray and fish while sitting on a large boulder.
