Saint Karapet Church is a 20th-century Armenian church in Abadan, Khuzestan Province, Iran, constructed in 1940. Built in the Pahlavi architectural style, it served as the principal gathering place for Abadan's Armenian community during that era. The structure sustained damage during the Iran–Iraq War but was subsequently restored. Though no longer in active use due to the diminished Armenian population in the city, the church was recognized as an Iranian National Heritage site in 2003.
