The First Presbyterian Church of Yorktown is a Presbyterian church in Yorktown Heights, New York. The current church building is the third in the history of the congregation, completed in 1840.

History

The congregation dates back to 1730. A meeting house was built in 1738, and a first resident pastor led the congregation from 1761. During the Revolutionary War, the church was used as barracks. It was destroyed by British troops in June 1779. A second church was built in 1785. A third church in the same style replaced it in 1840.
