The Winchester Memorial Church, also known as the New Hampshire Conservatory of Music and the Arts, is a historic civic building in the center of Winchester, New Hampshire, United States. The brick building was designed by S. Winthrop St. Clair and built in 1912 to replace a meeting house that was destroyed by fire. The meeting house it replaced was the location of the Winchester Profession, a key development in the history of Unitarian Universalism. It is a well-proportioned Colonial Revival structure, whose facade is embellished by four pilasters supporting a modillioned pediment.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was acquired in 2006 by the Universalist Heritage Foundation as a memorial to the site's role in Universalist history.
