Sts. Peter and Paul Russian Orthodox Church is a historic church in Bramble, Minnesota, United States. The onion domed church was built in 1915 through 1918 by Russian immigrant homesteaders. The land was donated by William Lucachick, an area farmer. The first Mass was celebrated by a Russian Orthodox priest from Chisholm. The interior contains an iconostasis installed in 1926. In keeping with Russian Orthodox tradition, there are no pews. Most of the congregation stands throughout the service, except for the elderly and infirm, for whom there are benches provided.^[2]

The church fell into disuse in the 1930s, but Paul Berg, an Episcopal minister in Grand Rapids, discovered the church and organized an effort to restore it. The building was rededicated in 1968.^[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
