Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord is a historic Russian Orthodox cathedral at 228 N. 12th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, New York. It was built between 1916 and 1921 to the designs by Louis Allmendiger. The plan is based on a Greek cross and is designed in the Russian version of the Byzantine style. The building features characteristic Onion domes atop four octagonal towers and a large central dome each topped by a large, gilded Russian Orthodox cross.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

Exterior shots of the cathedral are used in the Seinfeld episode "The Conversion" where it is used to play a Latvian Orthodox church.
