San Giorgio dei Greci (Greek: Ἅγιος Γεώργιος τῶν Ἑλλήνων, romanized: ´Agios Geórgios ton Ellínon, lit.

'Saint George of the Greeks') is a church in the sestiere (neighborhood) of Castello, Venice, northern Italy.

Around this period there was a similar church in Naples called Santi Pietro e Paolo dei Greci.

In 1539, after protracted negotiations, the papacy allowed the construction of the church of San Giorgio, financed by a tax on all ships from the Orthodox world.

Tzanes frescoed the Saints Simeon and Alypios, ascetic hermits, atop the pilasters.

Amongst the treasures in this church are three icons which Anna Notaras, daughter of Loukas Notaras, the last megas doux of the Byzantine Empire, brought with her to Italy before 1453, and she later gave to the Scuola de San Nicolò dei Greci in trust for when a church observing the Greek Orthodox faith could be constructed.

Nine of the paintings exhibit the dodekaorto known as the Great feasts in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

[4] One of the most important eras in San Giorgio dei Greci's history is the period when painter Emmanuel Tzanes was a priest at the institution.

Finally, he also painted Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and John the Baptist on a holy podium (proskinitirio) for the church.
