St. Alexander Nevsky Chapel (Russian: Часовня Святого Александра Невского) is a historic Russian Orthodox church chapel in Akutan, Alaska, United States. Now is Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America[2]

It was built in 1918 as a replacement to an 1878 building, and used much of the same lumber. It served the Russian Orthodox community in the trading port of Akutan.[3][4]

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