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.
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. The vestibule has seen the addition of a little onion dome sometime after 1990.
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
