Tomhannock Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic Methodist Episcopal church located at Pittstown, Rensselaer County, New York. It was built in 1845, and is a one-story, vernacular Greek Revival style brick church building with a front gable roof. It is topped by an open belfry topped by a low pyramidal roof. The interior was remodeled in 1871 and 1896. A two-story frame addition was built about 1980 to replace a two-story social hall added in 1855. The church was abandoned by United Methodist Conference in 2010 and subsequently adapted for municipal purposes.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
