TheTanana Mission (also known asMission of Our Saviour;Episcopal Mission) was a historicEpiscopal church mission inTanana, Alaska. Its abandoned church building and cemetery are listed on the U.S.National Register of Historic Places.^[1][2]

It was deemed significant as a site preserving artifacts of the once-large Episcopal mission, which additionally included a hospital, a sawmill, a rectory, and a school. The site is located about 3 miles up from the current Tanana village location. It was deemed "important to the history of interior Alaska as a place where permanent native (Indian) community was established near the mission which located itself opposite the prehistoric trading center of many interior Athapaskan Indians - Nuchalawoyya" and also as representing "a place where native people learned and participated in the activities of a foreign culture", and as a burial site, and as for the architecture of its church.^[2]

The church building has multiple gables above a 52-by-48-foot (16 m × 15 m) plan.^[2] It was built in 1899 and added to the National Register in 1977.^[1]
