Church of Dimitry Prilutsky on Navolok, Eastern Orthodox church in Vologda, Russia.

The Church of Dimitry Prilutsky on Navolok is a five-domed, four-pillared stone church on a raised basement, built in 1651 by Yaroslavl architects Boris Nazarov and Pankrat Timofeyev. Its facades have corner pilasters, a band of round niches and recessed squares, and arcading on the drums. A low, elongated heated Dormition church with a bell tower stands against its north wall.

A wooden chapel was built beside the house where Dimitry Prilutsky stayed in summer 1371 (or 1378), and after his 15th-century canonisation it became a wooden church, burned in the 1612 Vologda devastation. In 1651 Yaroslavl builders Boris Nazarov and Pankrat Timofeyev erected the stone cold church, likely the city's first stone church after the 1568–1570 St Sophia Cathedral.

The cold church was painted in fresco in 1721 by a team probably led by Fyodor Fyodorov or Fyodor Ignatyev, who also worked on the Annunciation Church in Yaroslavl. The scenes follow the Piscator Bible and the lives of Dimitry Prilutsky, but the Last Judgment on the west wall departs from Yaroslavl models: a serpent crawls from the mouth of the apocalyptic beast, and Judas is gripped by a devil. The dome and vault compositions repeat those of the Church of John the Baptist in Roshchenye, except for new subjects such as Susanna and the Elders.

The church sits near the waterfront and is easily reached on foot from the city center. Visitors should plan their visit around service times and dress appropriately when entering the building.

During the 1830-1831 cholera epidemic, the icons of the Dormition of the Mother of God from the Semigorodny Hermitage and the Passionate-Seven-Arrow Mother of God from the Toshnya Ioann-Bogoslovsky church were brought to Vologda and kept for a time in the Dimitrievsky churches. Copies were made from them in memory of deliverance from cholera, and the altar of the All-Saints church was reconsecrated in honour of the Semigorodny Dormition icon.
