The All Souls Church, also known as the First Unitarian Universalist Church, is a historic church at 196 Elm Street in Braintree, Massachusetts. It is a large fieldstone structure, in a cruciform plan with a square tower that has a crenellated top. The gable ends are decorated with bargeboard, and the entrance is set under a gabled entry porch below a large window with Gothic tracery. The church was designed by Boston architect Edwin Lewis and built in 1905 for a congregation organized in 1900; it is Braintree's first stone church building. Land for the building was donated by George O. Wales, a leading force in uniting Braintree's Unitarian and Universalist congregations. (The larger national church organizations did not formally merge until 1961.)
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
