Canterbury Presbyterian Church is located along Clinton Street in downtown Cornwall, New York, United States. It is a white stone and brick building in the Federal style, with later additions in a Colonial Revival style consistent with the earlier structure. Since 1996 it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Services were last held in 2004 as the church merged into Cornwall Presbyterian Church, originally founded by dissident members of Canterbury. The building has been used by several local nonprofit groups.
