The Whitneyville Congregational Church, now the Whitneyville United Church of Christ, is a historic Congregational Church at 1247-1253 Whitney Avenue in the Whitneyville section of Hamden, Connecticut. The congregation is now affiliated with the United Church of Christ (UCC).[1][2] The church building is a Greek Revival style built in 1834, with an interior altered in 1866 to designs by Rufus G. Russell. It has an entrance deeply recessed behind a pair of fluted columns, flanked on the sides by pilasters rising to support a triangular pediment.[3]

The church, along with its 1924 parish house, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[3]
