Church of the Transfiguration in Tushino, Eastern Orthodox church in Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo District, Russia.

The Church of the Transfiguration in Tushino is a brick Orthodox church built in 1886 to a design by architect Vladislav Grudzin, with a main altar consecrated in 1888. Its exterior was recreated in the 1990s: the dome and kokoshnik arches were restored, the bell tower's upper tiers rebuilt, and mosaic artist A. I. Tsarev decorated the kokoshnik tympana with images of the twelve apostles and the kioty with a Deesis composition.

The church continues the Skhodnya Saviour-Transfiguration Monastery, known since the 14th century; after its closure in the 18th century the monastic church became a parish church. The architect Vladislav Grudzin designed the present building, mostly finished by 1886 and consecrated on 13 August 1888 by Metropolitan Ioanniky. Closed in 1935 or 1937, the building later held institutions and a construction-materials warehouse; its bell tower and main dome were blown up in the 1950s. Patriarch Alexy II consecrated the main altar on 17 August 1990.

The church keeps the feast of the Transfiguration on 19 August (6 August Old Style), the date of its 1888 consecration by Metropolitan Ioanniky. Its side chapels are dedicated to St Nicholas the Wonderworker and St Sergius of Radonezh, consecrated in 1991 and 1993. Mosaic panels by A. I. Tsarev show the twelve apostles in the kokoshnik tympana and a Deesis in the kioty.

The church stands in the former village of Spas, in the Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo district of north-west Moscow. The grounds were landscaped during the 1990s restoration, and remains found during building work were reburied by the fence on the south side of the church. Visitors enter through the restored Holy Gates in the openwork fence on a brick base.

The church was the first consecrated by Patriarch Alexy II after his enthronement, on 17 August 1990. The mosaic artist A. I. Tsarev decorated the kokoshnik tympana with images of the twelve apostles and the kioty with a Deesis composition. Remains found during construction were reburied by the south fence.
