The Church of Saint Sarkis (Sargis) in Tekor, also known as the Tekor Basilica (Armenian: Տեկորի տաճար) was a late 5th century Armenian church built in historical Armenia. It was located facing the town of Digor in the Kars Province of Turkey, about 16 kilometers west of the Armenian border. Tekor was a three aisled basilica with a dome. It was severely damaged by earthquakes in 1912 and 1936, and later damaged by vandalism.
