The Richmond Community Church is a historic church building on Fitzwilliam Road (New Hampshire Route 119) in Richmond, New Hampshire, USA. The brick Greek Revival structure was built in 1838 by a Unitarian congregation, which sold a half interest in the building to the First Baptist Society before the building was completed. It is the earliest in a series of brick churches built at the time in New Hampshire in the Connecticut River valley. It is distinguished from earlier Federal style churches by the pilasters on the corners and on the front facade.[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It is now owned by a Methodist congregation.
