Armenian Church of St. John the Baptist, Christian church in Chinsurah, India.

The Armenian Church of St. John the Baptist stands in Chinsurah, West Bengal, with white walls and a spire added in 1822. Its foundation stone for the spire was laid by Daniel Anthony Overbeek, Dutch resident of Bengal. The church is the oldest Armenian church in India and the second-oldest Christian church in Bengal, built between 1695 and 1697.

Built between 1695 and 1697, the church is the oldest Armenian church in India and the second-oldest Christian church in Bengal. A spire was added in 1822, its foundation stone laid by Daniel Anthony Overbeek, Dutch resident of Bengal. Armenians had settled in Chinsura in 1645, after the Dutch formed their colony in 1625.

The church served as a gathering place for the Armenian community who built wealth through commerce in colonial Bengal. Visiting this space reveals how important this group was to the local merchant networks that shaped the region.

The church stands in Chinsura, West Bengal, about 50 kilometres north of Kolkata, near the Hooghly River. The building is open to visitors throughout the day and there is no entry fee. The annual feast of John the Baptist is held on 13–14 January, when pilgrims bring relics from the Holy Nazareth church 65 kilometres away.

Beside the church lies the family cemetery of the Melik-Beglaryan princes of Gulistan in Artsakh, a ruling house from the Caucasus buried in Bengal. The graves mark how far Armenian merchant families travelled and settled under Dutch and British rule.
