The Wellesley Congregational Church and Cemetery is a historic religious facility at 2 Central Street in the center of Wellesley, Massachusetts. The church is a brick Georgian Revival structure designed by Carrère and Hastings and built between 1918 and 1922. It is the fourth structure built for a congregation established in 1798, when the area was part of Newton. The church complex includes the main sanctuary and administrative offices and a chapel, all part of the original 1918 design, and a 1955 parish hall.[2]

The property was listed the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
