The Church of Kish, also known in different sources as Church of Saint Eghishe or Holy Mother of God Church, is a church in the village of Kiş, approximately 5 km north of Shaki in modern-day Azerbaijan.Probably dating to the early 12th century, the Church of Kish is inactive due to lack of parishioners since the 19th century. However, Azerbaijani sources claim that mass is regularly held by a Georgian priest. Archaeological research undertaken in 2000 concluded that it was first built as a diophysite Georgian church, later to become a Chalcedonian church. Previous research had proposed that it had functioned at different times as a Caucasian Albanian Apostolic church,
a Chalcedonian church within the Georgian Orthodox Church, and later as an Armenian Apostolic Church.
