The Unitarian Universalist Meeting House of Provincetown is an historic church at 236 Commercial Street in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The Greek Revival building was built in 1847 based on a design by Benjamin Hallett, for a congregation that had been established in 1829. It is a massive post and beam timber-frame construction, and was originally built without the tower. The tower, which is telescopic in form, with Greek ornamentation, is the only surviving steeple in Provincetown, and is a landmark for seafarers.[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972,[1] and included in the Provincetown Historic District in 1989.[2] It is now called the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House.

Interior trompe-l'œil ceiling and wall frescos were done in egg tempera by Carl Wendt in 1847
