The Asbury United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist Church building on NH 63 in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. It has been termed the "mother church of Methodism in New Hampshire". It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, rectangular in shape, with a gable roof, and a tower rising from its front (northwestern) facade. The main facade is divided into three bays by four pilasters, with entrances on the two outer bays and a window in the center. An uncovered porch extends across the facade, with a latticework railing and a broad centered stair. The tower is a two-stage square structure, the lower stage with corner pilasters, and the upper (which houses the belfry) with paired pilasters matching those on the facade.

It was built in 1844 by contractor Oscar C. Coolidge.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
