The Grantsville First Ward Meetinghouse, at 297 Clark St. in Grantsville, Utah, is a Latter Day Saint meeting house which was built in 1865-1866. It was a work of Scottish immigrant Hugh Alexander Ross Gillespie. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982; the listing did not include a 1952 addition to the building.

It is notable as one of few LDS meetinghouses built with adobe and having Greek Revival styling that still survive. This one is especially notable for having its vestry attached to the rear rather than to the front of the meetinghouse.
