St. Nikola Macedonian Orthodox Church, Preston, Macedonian Orthodox church in Preston, Melbourne, Australia

St Nikola is a brick church in Preston, in Melbourne's north, built after fire destroyed the earlier wooden structure. The present building was raised in about six months by community members who gave funds and labour, and it was consecrated in May 1996 by Bishops Peter and Stefan. Its interior follows Macedonian Orthodox practice, with the iconostasis and painted icons of Saint Nicholas at its centre.

The original wooden building was destroyed by fire in 1995, leading to a rebuild using brick construction. The reconstructed church was reconsecrated in 1996, marking a significant renewal for the community.

The parish grew out of the Cyril and Metodius Cultural Association, and its initiative committee was led by president Gorgi Pisevski with Mile Panov, Gorgi Petro and Nikola Vasilevski. Liturgies draw an average of about 200 parishioners. In late 2018 the community marked the church's fortieth anniversary.

The church stands in Preston, in Melbourne's northern suburbs, and liturgies draw roughly 200 parishioners. Visitors should contact the parish beforehand rather than rely on posted hours, since no regular public visiting times are documented. The present building is the brick replacement completed after the 1995 fire.

The 1996 reconsecration drew over 10,000 people and donations of about $100,000, after nearly six months of rebuilding in brick. In early 2016 the nearby church residence caught fire when a water leak exposed the electrical switchboard, and Father Nikodim Solunchev was rescued after leaping 3.5 metres into the arms of police.
