Methodist Episcopal Society of Tyringham (or the Union Church and Parsonage) is a historic church at 128-130 Main Road in Tyringham, Massachusetts. The property includes a Greek Revival church building built in 1844, and a parsonage house next door. The house was built around the same time as the church as a private residence, and was only later acquired for use as a parsonage. The church is a large single-story wood frame structure on a marble foundation. Its tower rises to a height of 70 feet (21 m) in square tiered stages. The parsonage is a modest 1-1/2 story gable-front structure, with a single-story ell (a 20th-century addition) extending to the south. Between 1844 and 1907, the church was also used for town meetings.

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
