Kazan Church, known in Finnish as Kazanin Jumalanäidin ikonin kirkko, is an Orthodox temple under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchal Parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in the city of Pori, Finland.

Since the 1940s, the Finnish Orthodox community has used this building for worship. After the community built its own stone church, the building was acquired by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2004 for the Russian parish that had been operating since 1999 and is dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

On June 11, 2003, the church was visited by the Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, who gifted the parish an icon of St. Seraphim of Sarov.

The consecration of the church was conducted by Bishop Maximilian (Lazarenko) of Vologda and Veliky Ustyug.
