The Holy Resurrection Church in Belkofski, Alaska is a historic Russian Orthodox church.

It is significant as "a striking example of a special type of Russian Orthodox Church architectural heritage", with a pyramidal-shaped roof over a central tower, in a design following from the 1732 design of the Church of the Resurrection on the Moskva River at Kolomenskoie, near Moscow, Russia. It is believed that there has been a church at this site since 1881; the current church may be a reconstruction.

The church's design influenced the design of the later, 1888, Russian Orthodox church at Karluk and also of the 1906 Russian Orthodox church at Ouzinkie.

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