The First Presbyterian Church at Hickory and S. Broad Sts. in Mankato, Minnesota, is a Richardsonian Romanesque-style church designed by Warren H. Hayes. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

The congregation was founded in 1855, three years after the town of Mankato was first platted. The first church building was a log schoolhouse, and the second building was built in 1865. Construction on the current building started in 1893, with the sanctuary completed in 1896.[2]
