The St. Nicholas Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox church in the native village of Igiugig, Alaska, United States. It is now under the Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America. ^[2]

It is one of the region's smallest churches, measuring 12 by 18 feet (3.7 m × 5.5 m), with clapboard siding, a metal gable roof, and a small shed-roof vestibule at one end. The long walls each have three sash windows. A detached bell tower, holding five bells, stands next to the church. The church was built in 1930. ^[3] The vestibule has seen the addition of a little onion dome sometime after 1990. ^[4]

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