St. Nicholas Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox church in Seldovia, Alaska, United States. The church was most likely built in the 19th century and replaced a log church. The church's design features a bell tower with an octagonal, partly open belfry; the tower is topped by a tall cross. The church has a gable roof with a four-sided cupola in the middle, which is topped by another cross.[2][3]
The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
