The Union Congregational Church is a historic church facility at 350-354 Main Street in the Salisbury Point section of Amesbury, Massachusetts. It is a two story structure, set on a granite foundation, with a gable roof and a tower. The main facade has two symmetrically-placed entrances, each flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by an entablature. Palladian windows are located above each entry on the second level, and there is a small lunette in the gable end. The tower rises in stepped stages, starting with a square section, followed by an open belfry with round-arch openings and pilastered supports. Above the belfry is an octagonal section topped by a rounded cupola. The building, built in 1835, supposedly by local shipwrights, is an excellent local example of Greek Revival style. To its west is a vestry building, constructed in 1854, which was joined to the church in 1892 by adapting an old horse shed as a connector.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
