The Middle Collegiate Church is a dually aligned United Church of Christ and Reformed Church in America church located at 112 Second Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.[1]

The Gothic Revival church was built from 1891 to 1892 as the congregation's fourth location, and was designed by Samuel B. Reed. It featured stained-glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany. It is located within the East Village/Lower East Side Historic District.[2][3] It is part of the Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church.

On December 5, 2020, the church was gutted by a fire that left only its stone exterior and its bell intact.[4][5][6][7]
