The St. Mary Armenian Church () is an Armenian Apostolic church in Brăila, Romania. It was first established by the Armenian community of Brăila in 1828 and was made of green wood planks. However, the old church burned down in 1843 and was demolished. Efforts to reconstruct the church were started on 1 May 1868 and completed on 4 July 1872. The church fell into disrepair during World War I as a result of the occupation of Romania, including Brăila, by the Central Powers, which provoked the fleeing of many Armenians from the city.
