The Three Holy Hierarchs church, Eastern Orthodox church on Hoholya Street, Simferopol, Crimea

The Three Holy Hierarchs church is a single-nave basilica at 16/7 Hoholya Street in Simferopol, built 1900–1902 to a design by architect Ambartsum Karapetov with master builder Mykola Solovyov. It has a rectangular plan, a three-sided apse on the east, and five domes: four small ones on corner turrets and a central dome over a hipped roof. The interior was painted by D. P. Pravednikov.

The church was founded in 1900 to serve the Taurida Theological Seminary, whose students had outgrown the chapel on the seminary's second floor. Architect Ambartsum Karapetov and master builder Nikolai Solovyov completed it within two years, and it was consecrated on 11 September 1903. Closed in 1922, the building housed the regional archive and later a book depository of the Franko library. Returned to the Church in 1987, it was restored from 1989, and Metropolitan Lazar consecrated the cupola crosses in 1996.

The church is named for Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom, whose images appear in the central part of the building. In city usage it was called the "Seminary Church". Since the Tauride Seminary resumed in 1997, prayers are held here at the start of the academic year and at the end of the course.

The church stands at 16/7 Hoholya Street, next to the Tauride Spiritual Seminary. Prayers are held at the start of the academic year and at the end of each course, so the building is tied to the seminary's calendar. It is an active Orthodox place of worship, so visitors should dress modestly and avoid entering during a service.

The church was commonly called the "Seminary Church" in city usage, since it was built for the Tauride Theological Seminary next door. Its oak iconostasis, made at the Zheverzheev factory in Saint Petersburg, was destroyed after the 1922 closure and is now lost.
