The Church of Saint John (Armenian: Սուրբ Յովհաննէս Եկեղեցի) is a 5th- or 6th-century Armenian Catholic church in Sohrol, Shabestar County, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. It was rebuilt in 1840 by Samson Makintsev (Sam Khan; member of the Bogatyr Battalion) in brick on the older church foundation.[1] It was added to the Iran National Heritage List in 1968, with the registration ID 766.[2]
