Saint Alexander Nevsky Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Yegoryevsk, Russia.

Saint Alexander Nevsky Church is an Eastern Orthodox church building with multiple domes constructed in brick and featuring Russian Revival architectural elements. The structure displays intricate brick patterns and tall windows characteristic of its architectural style.

A city assembly in the town hall on 18 June 1877 created a building commission chaired by mayor Nikifor Bardygin, who gave 3,000 roubles; the church, designed by A. S. Kaminsky, was laid in 1882 and consecrated on 1 October 1897 by Bishop Meletius of Ryazan. Merchant David Kh ludov gave his savings and died in poverty in 1886. A 67-metre bell tower by Ivan Baryutin followed in 1914. Closed by Soviet decree in 1941, the church was returned in 1945 and reopened at Easter 1946.

The church is named after Alexander Nevsky, patron saint of Alexander II, in memory of the tsar's escape from an 1879 assassination attempt. A Sunday school opened in 1992 and still operates, alongside a church library and a society of banner-bearers. Services are held daily, and a choir, re-established after reopening, continues a tradition of choral singing.

Services are held daily, and the church also runs a Sunday school, a parish library and a society of banner-bearers. The 67-metre bell tower, finished in 1914, is the landmark to look for when approaching; bell ringing was banned from 1962 until 1988. Visitors should dress modestly and keep to the back during services.

The 67-metre bell tower was added only in 1914, seventeen years after the church was consecrated, to a design by Ivan Baryutin, a pupil of the original architect Kaminsky. Baryutin's separate plan to enlarge the main church was never carried out because of the events of 1917.
