The Evangelical Church or Protestant Church (Slovak: Evanjelický kostol) at Mlynská ulica (Mill Street) in Košice is one of the most beautiful Neoclassical evangelical church buildings in all Slovakia.

It was built in 1816 based on the design of Georg Kitzling, a court architect from Vienna, for the German and Slovak Protestants of the town of Košice. During the construction of the church, Hungarian Protestants joined German and Slovak and bought the bells. The cross from old wooden church made in 1735 was transferred into the new church.

The Evangelical church in Košice is an oval central church building. Typical Lutheran chancels are situated in side spaces. The visitors are fascinated especially by the copula with a panel ceiling. The main altar has a column architecture. The church is joined by the rectory and the choir house.
