The Walden Jam-e-Masjid, formerly the Historic Walden United Methodist Church, is a mosque located in Walden, New York, United States. It was desanctified in 2013 and sold by the congregation the following year. The building was repurposed as a mosque by a Muslim congregation after being purchased in 2022.

The historic former church is a brick building constructed in the late 19th century, for a congregation dating to 1817. Primarily in the late Victorian Gothic architectural style, its complex massing and decoration include elements of other contemporary modes such as Romanesque Revival. Its ornate interior, originally built in the Akron Plan, reflects changing thinking regarding church interior design from the era of its construction.

It has survived mostly intact to the present. The current building incorporates part of an earlier church on the same site built in 1840 for another church.^[1] In the early 20th century a parsonage was built next door, and other facilities were built later in the century to the south. Due to increasing maintenance costs, the congregation voted to move to the new site and build another church there. In 2008 the historic former church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
