The Original Congregational Church of Wrentham is a historic church at 1 East and 22 Dedham Streets in Wrentham, Massachusetts. The present church is a Greek Revival structure built in 1834 for a congregation (Wrentham's first) formed in 1692. The church, which occupies a prominent position in the center of Wrentham, has a four-stage tower (rebuilt after the New England Hurricane of 1938), and a tetrastyle Doric portico. The building underwent a modernizing renovation in 1878, at which time many of the windows were modified to have rounded tops; many of these changes were reversed during renovations in the 1950s.

The church building was listed the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
