Patara Alaverdi (Georgian: პატარა ალავერდი; Minor Alaverdi) is a Georgian Orthodox Church located in Qakh District, northwestern Azerbaijan, on the border with Georgia. Patara Alaverdi is a domed church erected on the site of an old basilica with the contribution of the local community in 1888. Tradition has it that Minor Alaverdi is "a brother to Alaverdi Monastery of Kakheti". At present, the dome is damaged and in need of restoration.

Each year on 14 September, it hosts Alaverdoba, a feast with traditions identical with that of Kakhetian Alaverdi.
