The St. John the Baptist Church is a historic Russian Orthodox Church in Angoon, Alaska, United States. This modest wood-frame village church was built 1928-29, after a fire destroyed the previous church of the parish, at Killisnoo, in 1927. The main chamber is about 38 feet (12 m) long and 22 feet (6.7 m) wide, although it was originally built to a shorter length. Its gabled roof is topped by a square cupola, which is topped by an Orthodox cross. A bell tower rises from the west end above the vestibule.[2][3]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
