St. Mark’s Church (Crkva Svetog Marka) is a Serbian Orthodox church located in the Tašmajdan district of Belgrade, Serbia. It is one of the city’s larger urban churches and is notable for its domed profile and prominent site within the park.

The present building was constructed in the early 20th century on an historic site and follows Serbian Orthodox architectural traditions in its layout and ornamentation. The church serves as an active parish and hosts religious services and community events.

Over the 20th century the church and its surroundings have been part of urban development in central Belgrade, remaining a regular feature of the city’s religious and cultural landscape.

The church stands in Tašmajdan Park, a short walk from the National Assembly and other central landmarks in Belgrade’s urban core.
