The Immanuel Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic church at 1406 West Eastman Street in Boise, Idaho. It was started in 1910 and was added to the National Register in 1982.

It was designed by Tourtellotte & Hummel and is relatively unusual among their designs for its "Romanesque flavor". It is described as architecturally mixed: "architecturally significant as an ecclesiastical structure showing an interesting hybridization of traditional, medieval forms (round arches and crenellation) with classical elements (eave returns) and a horizontality and breadth of gable which may be attributed, as may a good deal of the architecture of this period, to the influence of the bungalow and related styles."[1]
