The Agios Nikolaos Church (Greek: Ιερός Ναός Αγίου Νικολάου) in Patras is an important religious and historical landmark of the city and is located at the foot of the famous Agios Nikolaos stairs.
A church on this site can be traced back to the 14th century. The original building was destroyed in 1811 when a gunpowder magazine in the nearby Patras Castle exploded. The current church building was erected in 1885.
