St. Alexander Nevsky church in Ust-Izhora, Orthodox church in Ust-Izhora, Russia.

St. Alexander Nevsky church in Ust-Izhora is a stone church with a bell tower built in 1798–1799 in the neoclassical style, funded by local residents and state brickworks. Its design is attributed to Vasily and Pyotr Neyolov. Two side chapels, dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (north) and the Beheading of John the Baptist (south), were added in 1871–1875 to a design by Mikhail Shchurupov, along with an enlarged dome. A 4.4-tonne bell was cast for the church.

The building was constructed in 1798 at a location connected to a significant military event in regional history. It marks the site where an important battle took place in 1240, an event that shaped Russian history and remained central to national memory.

The church is named after Saint Alexander Nevsky and stands at a location that holds deep religious meaning for Russian believers across generations. It serves as a gathering place where the Orthodox faith is practiced and passed on through regular worship and community tradition.

The church is located outside the city center and can be reached by public transportation departing from Saint Petersburg. Visitors should plan adequate travel time and familiarize themselves with transportation options before visiting.

Two monuments to Alexander Nevsky stand by the church: a memorial chapel 9.7 metres high, consecrated on 6 December 2002, with a bronze bust of the prince inside, and a statue on the riverbank slope by sculptor V. E. Gorevoy and architect V. V. Popov, unveiled on 29 May 2003.
