Loyola University Chicago Rome Center is a campus of Loyola University Chicago in Rome, Italy. The Rome Center was founded in January of 1962, on the site of the Olympic Village for the 1960 Summer Olympics. After two intermediate relocations, in 1972 it moved to its present location in a residential neighborhood on Monte Mario, the highest point in Rome, on Via Massimi.

The Center was recently renamed the "John Felice Rome Center of Loyola University Chicago" in honor of John Felice, a Maltese-American former priest who was largely responsible for the Institution's founding in 1962.
