Morison Memorial United Reformed Church is a church in Clydebank, Scotland. It is situated on Dumbarton Road near Clydebank town hall. Initial plans were drawn up in 1893. The church was designed by Glasgow architects, Steel & Balfour, in the English Gothic style and the foundation stone was laid by John Wilson, MP for Govan, on 3 October 1896. Morison has survived over 100 years including the Clydebank Blitz during World War II.
The church was founded as an Evangelical Union church but soon became part of the Congregational Union of Scotland.
In April 2000 the Congregational Union of Scotland united with the United Reformed Church creating a church in three nations.
