Nativity of Holy Theotokos Church is a historic Russian Orthodox church in Afognak, Alaska. The present church is the third Russian Orthodox church built in Afognak, and replaced the second which had been built in the late 1800s. It was built during 1901-1905. The community was mostly "washed out" by a 1964 tidal wave, and moved to Port Lions, but the church building remained.[2][3]

In 1979, it was believed that the community would return and that the church would be used again, although it would be necessary to move the church further away from the water's edge.[3]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
