The Holy Resurrection Church (Russian: Церковь Воскресения Христова) 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 Kolomenskoye, 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 had an impact on the later Russian Orthodox churches at Karluk in 1888 and Ouzinkie in 1906.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Gradually the residents of Belkofski moved to nearby villages which offered them new economic opportunities. In the 1980s, a new Orthodox church was built in King Cove, located twelve miles away by boat. The church's inventory, which includes an iconostasis containing numerous icons from Russia, was transferred there.
