The Panagia Agiosoritissa or Hagiosoritissa (Greek: Παναγία ἡ Ἁγιοσορίτισσα) is the name for a type of Marian icon, showing Mary without child, slightly from the side with both hands raised in prayer.

The names used for the icon, Hagiosoritissa and, in Russian, Khalkopratiskaya, derive from the church of the Holy Urn (Greek: Ἁγία Σορός, in reference to the urn containing the Cincture of the Theotokos) in Constantinople's Chalkoprateia (Χαλκοπρατεῖα, "copper market") district. The appellation Ἁγιοσορίτισσα is first recorded in Byzantine seals 11th century, and it appears minted on coins made under Manuel I Komnenos (12th century). In English, the type is also known as Madonna Advocate (the prayer gesture interpreted in the context of intercession).
