The Alexandrian Nazarene Church of Hurmu (Hurmu Norse: Alexandrinsk-nazarenska kirkjan i Hurmu; abbreviated ANKH; Lakkvian: Hurmu Aleksandria-Natsareeni kirik, HANK; Martino: Iglesia alejandrino-nazarena de Hurmu; Alexandrian: Église alexandrine-nazaréenne de Hurmu) is the branch of the Autocephalous Nazarene Church of Alexandria in the realms of the Order of the Holy Lakes (aka Hurmu). A small church, eclipsed in Hurmu by the Corian Orthodox Church and the Église de Normandie, the Alexandrian Nazarene Church of Hurmu was founded by Alexandrian immigrants to the Lake District in 1692. Today, it has some 25,000 members, mainly in the Lake District. The church is headed by a Bishop, Andres Villarreal Argento, who oversees the Diocese of Hurmu (encompassing all of Hurmu) and answers directly to the Archbishop of Geneva. Bishop Villarreal was named Cardinal in 1748.

The Alexandrian Nazarene Church of Hurmu is in partial communion (i.e., recognizing the validity of rites but do not concelebrate) with the Apostolic Church of Kezan and, prior to its destruction, also with the Amokolian Orthodox Church.
