American Fork Presbyterian Church (also known as Community Presbyterian Church) is a historic church at 75 N. 1st East Street in American Fork, Utah that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

The Gothic Revival church building was constructed in 1879. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] It is significant as the first Protestant church in American Fork.

Two Mormon meetinghouses in American Fork are also NRHP-listed.[1] Non-Mormons became more numerous after the Transcontinental railroad opened in 1869.[2]

As of 2012 the congregation is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
