The Greenfield Meeting House is a historic meeting house on Forest Road in the center of Greenfield, New Hampshire. The two story wood frame building was built 1795-99; it is one of a small number of 18th century meeting houses in New Hampshire. When originally built, it was roughly square, with a gallery instead of full second floor, and porches at the gable ends that sheltered stairs to the gallery level. The bell tower was added in 1825, and the gallery level was filled out in 1848. In 1867 the building underwent major alterations: it was rotated ninety degrees and raised two feet, a vestibule was built, and the belltower placed atop it. These alterations transformed the previously Federal-style building into one that resembles a more typical Greek Revival structure. A clock manufactured by E. Howard & Co. was installed in the tower in 1895.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
