The Church of St. Nikita an der Jausa ( Russian Храм Никиты Мученика ) is a Russian Orthodox church in Moscow .

It is located at ulitsa Goncharnaja 6 in the Tagansky district , at the mouth of the Jausa River into the Moskva River .

The church was rebuilt in 1595, replacing the wooden church of the same name, which was first mentioned in writing in a chronicle from 1476. In the years 1684–1685 the bell tower was added on the northwest side.

St. Nikita was closed in 1936 and used as a warehouse. From 1958 onwards, the building was restored in the Baroque style of the 16th century and returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991.
