The Sacred College of the Autocephalous Nazarene Church of Alexandria (Audente: Collegium Sacrum Ecclesiae Nazarenus Alexandriae) is the principal legislative and deliberative assembly of the Autocephalous Nazarene Church of Alexandria. Established during the imperial period and significantly reformed following Alexandria's collapse, the Sacred College functions as both a parliamentary body for church governance and an advisory council to the Archbishop of Geneva.

The College meets in regular session annually at the Hall of Councils in Geneva, with extraordinary sessions convened as necessary to address urgent matters. As the church's senior representative assembly, the Sacred College plays a crucial role in establishing ecclesiastical policy, approving major liturgical and administrative changes, and providing institutional continuity across periods of transition.
