St. Ann's Church (Annenkirche in German; церковь Святой Анны in Russian) is a historical church in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was built in 1775-1779 by Felten for the German Lutheran community in a neoclassical style with Ionic columns.

The church was closed in 1935 and transformed into a cinema, called Spartak. At the beginning of the 21st century a nightclub opened inside the building and it was damaged by a fire. The church was restored in 2012-2013.
