The crucifixion window in the Catholic Church of St-Miliau in Guimiliau , a French parish in the Finistère department of Brittany , was created around 1550. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1906 as Monument historique .

The central window in the choir was created by an unknown workshop. On four lancets it shows a crucifixion scene with the crucifixion of Jesus and the entombment of Christ (far left).

In around 1980, ornamental panes by Hubert de Sainte Marie were built into the tracery .

In addition to the crucifixion window, five other remarkable windows from the 16th century have been preserved in the church.
