East Genoa Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic Methodist Episcopal church located at Genoa in Cayuga County, New York. It is a hand hewn timber-frame structure, sheathed in pine clapboard, and built in 1849 in the Greek Revival style by Edward Palmer. Edward Palmer donated the land across from their family farmhouse for the building in 1846 and was contracted $1200.00 to build the church.

High Victorian Gothic modifications were made in the 1880s.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
