Third Baptist Church is a historic church at 1546 5th Street and Q Street NW in the Shaw neighbourhood of north-western Washington, DC.[2]

It was built in 1893 in Late Gothic Revival style and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The church was the third oldest Black Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., and the oldest Black Baptist building still standing.[3] In January 2024, the building was sold to Church of the Advent, an Anglican church, and Third Baptist Church moved to a location in Prince George's County, Maryland.[4]
