Roslindale Congregational Church is a historic Congregational church at 25 Cummins Highway, at the corner of Summer Avenue in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The Shingle-Romanesque style church was designed by James Murray (believed to be a member of the congregation) and built 1893-96 for a congregation established in 1890 by Rev. William Grover. It has a monumental scale typical of Richardsonian works, and a tower topped by a pyramidal roof and corner turrets.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
