Saint John the Apostle Church, Kyiv, Ukrainian Baroque church in central Kyiv, Ukraine.

The Saint John the Apostle Church stands as a brick structure within St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, displaying traditional Ukrainian Baroque architectural elements.

Built in 1713 using materials from the former Simeon Church, the building underwent major restoration works in 1827 and received interior paintings in 1837.

The church made history in 1990 by becoming one of the first religious establishments in Kyiv to conduct services in the Ukrainian language.

The religious complex functions as part of the Kyiv Orthodox Theological Academy and Seminary, offering regular church services to students and visitors.

During the 1922 Bolshevik period, the church's conversion into a student dining hall protected it from destruction that affected other monastery buildings.
