Saint Nicholas Nadeinskaya Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Yaroslavl, Russia.

Saint Nicholas Nadeinskaya Church is a brick Orthodox church on the Volga embankment in Yaroslavl, built on a high basement with a massive main cube, a tower-like Annunciation side chapel, galleries with a porch, and a low bell tower over the northwest porch. A small pillarless chapel of Alexander Svirsky was added on the south side in the 1690s. The refectory and bell tower were rebuilt in 1695.

Construction began in 1620 and the church was consecrated two years later by Varlaam, Metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl. The merchant Nadeya Sveteshnikov, one of Yaroslavl's wealthiest traders, funded it and chose Saint Nicholas as patron. In 1695 the building was rebuilt: the side altar of Alexander Svirsky was added, the bell tower raised and the windows enlarged. It was closed after the October Revolution and entered the museum-reserve in 1959.

The church takes its name from Nadeya Sveteshnikov, the merchant who funded it; Nadeya was the secular name of Yefimy Sveteshnikov, one of the richest men of the Muscovite state. The north-west gallery holds a cycle of fifteen frescoes about a youth who found gold and was killed by greedy monks, with a vision of John Climacus driving the monks from paradise. The anti-monastic tone reflects the 17th-century rivalry between Yaroslavl's merchants and the Spassky Monastery.

The building sits at Narodnaya Lane 2a in Yaroslavl and today functions as part of a local museum area open to visitors. The location is by the river with good pedestrian access from the city center.

The iconostasis was made in 1751 to a design by Fyodor Volkov, founder of Russia's first public theatre, who was a parishioner here. Its royal doors are carved as a theatrical stage framed by draperies, with a relief Last Supper.
