Koptisk-ortodoxa kyrkan är den orientaliskt ortodoxa kristna kyrkan i Egypten. Koptiskan används traditionellt som kyrkospråk. Medlemmarna kallas kopter. Enligt traditionen är kyrkan bildad av evangelisten Markus omkring 42 e.Kr. Kyrkan leds av påven och patriarken av Alexandria, sedan 2012 Tawadros II av Alexandria (Theodor II), som ersatte den sedan 1971 sittande Shenouda III vid dennes död 2012. Mer än 95 % av de kristna i Egypten tillhör denna kyrka.
