The Church of Mary Magdalene (Mariupol) (Ukrainian: Церква Марії Магдалини (Маріуполь), Russian: Церковь Марии Магдалины (Мариуполь)) is an Orthodox church in honor of the Apostle Mary Magdalene in Mariupol, Ukraine. Consecrated in 1897, it was a replacement of a church of the same name that was consecrated in 1791. The church was later purposefully destroyed in the 1930s during the Soviet era. It stood within the vicinity of what is known today as Theatre Square where the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theatre was built in 1960.
