First Presbyterian Church of Newtown is a historic Presbyterian church located in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens County, New York. The church was built in 1895, and is a Late Gothic Revival style, granite and brownstone church with a steep slate gable roof. It features three large pointed arched windows and an 85 foot tall square bell tower. The church is the fifth building for a congregation founded in 1652. It was moved to its present location in 1924, with the widening of Queens Boulevard. Also on the property are the contributing Parish Hall and manse. The Parish Hall is a Collegiate Gothic style brick building with a slate roof and built in 1931. The manse was built in 1907, and is a 2 1/2-story frame residence that was also moved in 1924.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
