Church of the Resurrection, Eastern Orthodox church building in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

The Church of the Resurrection is a brick Orthodox church in Nizhny Novgorod's Yamskaya sloboda, founded on 6 May 1884 and consecrated in 1886. Its four-pillar, three-nave core was built of shaped brick without plaster, topped by a broad light drum and a squat dome; the three-tier bell tower carried Byzantine motifs. The church covers 750 m² and its bell tower rises 40 m.

The church was founded on 6 May 1884 in the Yamskaya sloboda, financed by the merchant A. I. Priyezzhev and the honorary citizens V. A. Sobolev and I. S. Kvartalov. The main altar (Resurrection of Christ) and the south altar (John the Theologian) were consecrated on 2 June 1886; the north altar followed on 13 May 1887. In 1900–1912 new side chapels were added, the south one consecrated in 1912 to Seraphim of Sarov. Closed in 1920, the church lost its bell tower and domes and housed a cinema, a warehouse and, from 1942 to the mid-1990s, a bread factory. Returned to the eparchy in 1999, it was restored from 2004 and great-consecrated on 15 August 2024.

The church is dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ, with side altars to St John the Theologian, St Nicholas the Wonderworker, St Alexander of Rome and St Seraphim of Sarov. Since 2011 it has housed an icon of St Panteleimon painted by Athonite monks at the Russian St Panteleimon Monastery, replacing a pre-revolutionary icon with relics that disappeared after the church was closed. A children's Sunday school and adult lecture series operate in the parish.

The church is open regularly for services and also welcomes visitors interested in viewing its architectural features. Dress appropriately and be respectful when entering, as this remains an active place of worship for the local community.

Before 1917 the church held a large icon of Saint Panteleimon with a relic, lost after the closure and looting. In July 2011 monks of the Russian Saint Panteleimon Monastery on Mount Athos brought a new icon painted there specifically for this church.
