St. Paul's Church and Cemetery also known as Old St. Paul’s Lutheran Church or St. Paul's Lutheran Church is a church in Newton, North Carolina. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 as a Historic Place in Catawba County, North Carolina.

St. Paul's Church, Newton is a two story log weatherboarded church built in 1818. It features a Federal style interior with carved sounding board and moldings and a separate, now repurposed, slave balcony.

The St. Paul's Reformed Church at Startown formed from this congregation in 1904.
