Chester Congregational Church is a historic church at 4 Chester Street (New Hampshire Route 121) in Chester, New Hampshire. This wood frame building was originally built as a traditional New England colonial meeting house in 1773, and underwent significant alteration in 1840, giving it its present Greek Revival appearance. Most of its interior was lost during these alterations, but the original roof trusses are still in evidence. The front facade of the church resembles a temple front, with wide piers separating its three bays, and supporting a triangular gable pediment which has a triangular louvered window in its tympanum. A three-stage tower rises above, topped with a spire. The tower clock was added in 1881.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
