Church of Saint Elisabeth, Yekaterinburg, Orthodox church in central Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The Church of the All-Merciful Saviour (Spassky Church) is an Orthodox church on Bisertskaya Street, part of the Novo-Tikhvin Convent. Built in 1872–1876, it has a northern side chapel of Great Martyr Paraskeva (1878) and a southern chapel of Archangel Michael (1880). The building survived three fires during its Soviet use as a workshop and warehouse.

The Church of the All-Merciful Saviour was laid in 1872 and consecrated in 1876 on the Yelizavetinskaya metochion of the Novo-Tikhvin Convent, founded by decree of Alexander I in 1809. Its north chapel of Saint Paraskeva was consecrated on 11 June 1878 and its south chapel of Archangel Michael on 15 June 1880. Closed in 1938 and used as a worsted-combine workshop and warehouse, it survived three fires and was the first church returned to the faithful in Yekaterinburg, in 1989.

The church is dedicated to the Saviour, not to Saint Elisabeth: its Russian name is Spassky, from the Church of the All-Merciful Saviour, consecrated in 1876. It belongs to the Novo-Tikhvin women's monastery and began as the chapel of the monastery's Yelizavetinskoye farmstead, where 19 sisters lived permanently and about 20 more came at harvest. Its north side altar honours the Great Martyr Paraskeva, its south altar the Archangel Michael.

The church stands at Bisterskaya Street 12a in the Yelizavet area south of central Yekaterinburg. Buses 47, 51, 52 and 57 stop at Dom Kultury, or take any of them to the Yelizavet terminus. The building is part of the Novo-Tikhvin Convent and is an active parish church.

The church keeps a reliquary holding particles of one hundred monks from the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra caves, alongside a portion of the relics of Simeon of Verkhoturye. The relics of Vasilisk of Siberia, found in Turinsk in 2000 and canonised in 2004, also rest here. The building survived three fires while used as a worsted-combine workshop and storehouse.
