Church of the Holy Savior (Serbian: Црква Светог Спаса, romanized: Crkva Svetog Spasa) is a temple of the Serbian Orthodox, Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral, in Herceg Novi, Montenegro.
It is located in the settlement of Topla. The construction of this church began in 1709, next to the Church of St. George, and the construction of the church was completed in 1713.
It got its present appearance in 1864, when it was renovated almost from the ground up. In the interior of the church, there are extremely valuable objects that were donated to this church by famous people of that time.
Above this and the church of St. George is the parish cemetery, and next to the cemetery is a cell (with a memorial plaque) where Josip Tropović studied Peter Petrović Njegoš.
Slavko Perović lists this church as a monastery where Lazar Tomanović married Petroslava Radulović in 1877.
