The Warren United Methodist Church and Parsonage are a Methodist church and house at 27 Church Street in the center of Warren, Rhode Island. The church was started in 1789 under the Rev.

The building is a Greek Revival structure with a full temple front built in 1844 by Fall River, Massachusetts architect Perez Mason.^[1] The parsonage is a two-story Italianate structure built by the congregation in 1858. It was designed by the Warren firm of Hoar & Drown and built by the related firm of Hoar & Martin.^[2]

The two buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
