The Church of Saint Sava () is a Serbian Orthodox church located in the village of Bileća in the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dedicated to Saint Sava, it was constructed in 1896 in neo-Romano-Gothic style. The Church was proclaimed a National Monument by the commission to Preserve National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006.
Architecture The church is a simple single-nave structure with a ceiling, adorned with small corner turrets, a bell-cot, oculi under the gables, and a frieze of blind arcades beneath the roof cornice. The close resemblance of corner turrets and cornices between the Sarajevo Evangelical Church (today Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo) and the Bileća church suggests Karel Pařík may have been involved in creating the plan, for which Bileća priest Perinović thanked the Provincial Government of Austro-Hungarian Bosnia.
