St. Alexander Nevsky's Cathedral is the Orthodox Cathedral in Novosibirsk, Russia.
It is one of the first stone constructions in Novonikolayevsk (former name of Novosibirsk). The church was built in Neo-Byzantine architectural style in 1896–1899.
It was opened and consecrated on December 29, 1899. In 1915 it became a cathedral.
The Cathedral was a specific monument to the emperor Alexander III who initiated construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway which resulted in foundation of Novonikolayevsk as a new railway station.
In 1937 the Cathedral was closed.
In 1988 – the year of the 1000th anniversary of Baptizing of Rus – there began a movement for the restitution of the Cathedral to the Russian Orthodox Church. In 1989 it was restituted.
