Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos, Viazivka (Ukrainian: Церква Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці) was a wooden Orthodox church in the village of Viazivka, Korosten Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. It is also known as Church of Intercession (Ukrainian: Покровська церква), dedicated to the Intercession of the Theotokos. It had the status of an architectural monument of national importance.
The church was built in 1862 by locals and priests.
In 2012, on the eve of the 150th anniversary of its creation, the church was looted.
