The St. Sergius Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox church in Chuathbaluk, Alaska, United States, in the Bethel Census Area. Now it is under the Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America. ^[2]

Traditionally, the church is believed to have been built in 1891 by Father Ivan Orlov. The wood-frame structure has three major elements. At the western end is a gable-roof vestibule section with a small onion dome on top, and a similarly sized matching section at the eastern end. The central section is a larger, roughly square structure, topped by a hip roof with a larger onion dome. ^{[3] [4]} It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. ^[1]
