St. George the Great Martyr Orthodox Church
St. George the Great Martyr Orthodox Church () is a historic Russian Orthodox church on St. George Island, Alaska. Now it is under Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America

A first church was built on the island during 1870–78;  the current church was built about five miles away in about 1935.  As there were no trees on the island, all materials had to be brought in.  According to a 1979 evaluation, "of all the R. O. village churches and chapels in Alaska, this may be the best example of effective balance and integration of classic designs
to produce a building pleasing to the eye and utile in its purpose."

The current church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
