Surb Gevorg Church, Armenian church in Yerevan, Armenia

Surb Gevorg Church is a three-nave, domeless basilica in the Noragavit district of Yerevan, with a vaulted western narthex and a bell tower of 12 columns. The prayer hall opens from the narthex and the south facade. Late medieval frescoes survive in places on the piers and walls carrying the vaulted roof. Its plan and volume recall the Zoravor Church of Yerevan.

The church was built in the 17th century in the village of Noragavit, which once had more than ten churches; Surb Gevorg is the only one still standing. Its plan and overall composition resemble Yerevan's Zoravor Church. In 1981–1984 it was thoroughly renovated under the patronage of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, with the Argentine benefactor Eduard Seferyan taking part.

The name "Surb Gevorg" refers to Saint George, a figure central to Armenian religious devotion and community identity. Today it functions as an active place of worship where visitors can experience Armenian Apostolic Christian practices firsthand.

This is an active place of worship, so visitors should dress respectfully and be mindful of prayer times and religious ceremonies. Planning a visit outside of service times allows for better exploration of the interior details and stone carvings.

The old village of Noragavit had more than ten churches; Surb Gevorg is the only one still standing. Its layout and overall composition follow Yerevan's Zoravor Church, a three-nave, domeless basilica with a vaulted west porch and a 12-column belfry.
