The United Presbyterian Church of Canehill is a historic church on Main Street in Canehill, Arkansas. Built in 1891, it is the only surviving church building in the small community. It is a brick structure with a cruciform plan with steeply-pitched gable roofs, large Gothic-arched stained glass windows, and a tower with an octagonal belfry topped by a shingled steeple. Canehill was originally settled in 1828 by a Presbyterian group, and eventually supported three separate Presbyterian congregations over the course of the 19th century. These congregations were reunited into this building in 1905.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
