The Historic Derby Street Chapel, also known as Derby Street Chapel, is a historic church building located at 121 Derby Street in Cocoa, Brevard County, Florida. Built between 1916 and 1920 as a Seventh Day Adventist church, it was sold to First Church of Christ, Scientist, Cocoa in 1955. In 1964 the Christian Science sold it to the First Baptist Church of Cocoa, which still owns it. Cocoa Mainstreet, which holds a 25-year lease on the property, renovated the building and brought it up to current handicapped access standards. It is now a venue for weddings and other small events.
