St. Mark Church Monastery also known as St. Mark's Monastery [1] is a Serbian Orthodox Church monastery located in Sheffield, Ohio, now under the omophor of Bishop Irinej Dobrijević of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Eastern America.[2] The monastery church was initially modelled after the medieval Marko's Monastery in Skoplje in Northern Macedonia.[3] Located just west of the monastery church is the St. Mark Church Cemetery.[3] The patronal feast day of the monastery is 8 May (Julian calendar).[1]

St. Mark Serbian Orthodox Monastery is listed as one of the important American Orthodox monasteries.[4][5] In 1985, a youth Camp[6] opened at St. Mark Church Monastery at 1434 Lake Breeze Road in Sheffield, Ohio, which still continues with summer and winter activities.[7][6]
