Wall Street Methodist Episcopal Church, formerly the home of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, was a historic Methodist Episcopal church located at 69 Wall Street in Auburn, New York, United States. It was a large Gothic Revival style brick and limestone structure built in 1788, and renovated in the 1887. Following years of neglect, it was damaged in a windstorm in the summer of 2021 and demolished.[2] The facade was dominated by a square tower topped by a broach spire. It was an example of an auditorium plan church, popular in church design from the 1880s to 1920s.[3]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
