Carswell Grove Baptist Church and Cemetery, in Jenkins County, Georgia near Perkins, is a historic church and cemetery which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

The church, built in 1919, is a wood frame clapboarded building with Gothic Revival windows and other details. Its front gable end is flanked by two square towers.[2]

The original church is no longer present, based upon satellite views of the site.[3]

The cemetery was founded around 1870, when the original church building was built. It is located along the rear and sides of the church, and includes "modest" headstones.[2]

A different historic church, the Big Buckhead Baptist Church, with historic plaque in front, is located a few hundred yards southwest.[note 1]
