Church of the Transfiguration, Yekaterinburg, Eastern Orthodox church in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The Church of the Transfiguration stands in the Uktus district on the site of Yekaterinburg's oldest church, a wooden St Nicholas church consecrated in 1712. The stone building was begun in 1808 and completed by 1830, with a warm and a cold part and side chapels added in 1863–1867. Its bell tower and cupolas were demolished in 1930.

The oldest church on the site was a wooden church of St Nicholas, consecrated on 12 February 1712 and destroyed by fire on 26 September 1806; its 40-pood bell melted, but the silver chalice, paten, Gospel, cross and other vessels were saved. The stone church was laid in 1808 with the blessing of Bishop Justin of Perm; the southern Kazan altar was consecrated on 3 January 1809, the main Transfiguration altar in 1821 and the northern St Nicholas altar on 21 April 1830. In 1863 the side chapels were rebuilt in new positions because the church was too small for its parishioners.

The church's patron saint is the hieromartyr Konstantin Lebedev, who served here as a deacon in 1911–1912 and was killed for his faith near present-day Talitsa. A charitable refectory opened on 7 April 2009, and its mobile kitchen can be moved to feed the needy elsewhere. The most venerated item is a copy of the "Vsetsaritsa" (Queen of All) icon, held by believers to heal cancer.

The church stands in the Uktus microdistrict on Pokhodnaya Street. It was returned to the faithful in 1995, and daily services have been held since 1996. A charitable refectory opened on 7 April 2009; it was designed to be mobile so it can be moved to wherever people need feeding.

In 1942 the building housed a workshop of Moscow factory No. 145, evacuated to Sverdlovsk, which made porous rubber for the front; it was later renamed the Sverdlovsk Ebonite Products Plant. On 26 May 1944 a fire caused by burning soot and lubricants damaged the factory blocks, the warehouse and the workshops.
