Gallatin First Presbyterian Church, located in Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee, is the oldest church building in Gallatin in continuous existence. It was organized on October 25, 1828, and construction took place during 1836-1837. It is built in early Greek Revival architectural style.

The sanctuary was used as a hospital for Federal troops during the Civil War. The same room suffered major fire damage, from an unattended candle, in December 2004. As a result, the sanctuary was gutted and rebuilt over the course of the following year. It is listed with the National Register of Historic Places.
