Saint Andrew Stratelates church in Veliky Novgorod, Orthodox church in Novgorod Kremlin, Russia.

Saint Andrew Stratelates Church is a rectangular, single-domed church in the south-eastern part of the Novgorod Detinets, with a single-span bell gable over the entrance. Its walls combine 15th-century Volkhov limestone, shell limestone and brick with 17th-century brick vaults and eastern walls. The west portal has an arched top, an exterior decorative eyebrow and a triangular lintel inside.

A stone church of Saints Boris and Gleb was built on this site in 1167–1173, commissioned by the Novgorodian Sotko Sytinich. After a fire in 1405, Archbishop Evfimy II ordered a new church on the old foundation in 1441, and the stair tower was replaced by a side chapel of Andrew Stratelates. The Boris and Gleb cathedral collapsed in 1682 and was dismantled; the surviving chapel was extended eastward and became a separate church.

The name comes from the chapel of Andrew Stratelates, built in 1441 on the base of the dismantled stair tower of the earlier Boris and Gleb cathedral. Inside, 16th–17th-century wall paintings were uncovered and strengthened in 2000–2003 under E. I. Seryogina. On the north wall a procession of saints faces the altar, with Andrew Stratelates first from the east.

The church stands in the south-eastern part of the Novgorod Detinets, a short walk from the kremlin's main paths. It is a non-functioning church, so visits are to the building and its 16th–17th-century wall paintings rather than to services. The floor of the western volume was laid in 2000–2003 with limestone slabs shaped to reveal the round base and walls of the 12th-century stair tower.

The side chapel of Andrew Stratelates was built on the dismantled base of the 12th-century stair tower of the Boris and Gleb cathedral. When that cathedral collapsed in 1682, the chapel was widened eastward and became a separate church. Excavations in 1969 uncovered the round central pillar of the tower's spiral staircase.
