The First Congregational Church of Middletown, New York, United States is one of the most visible landmarks of that city's downtown skyline. Its spire rises higher than any other church or structure in the central neighborhoods of the city.
The church was established in 1785, when the settlement that became the city did not exist. It has been argued that the construction of the church at that time marks the beginning of Middletown's existence as a village. The current Gothic Revival building, designed by noted architect Isaac G. Perry, was constructed in 1872, and is the third.
