Cedar Street Presbyterian Church also known as the Scotch Presbyterian Church on Cedar Street was a former Presbyterian church of the eighteenth century and nineteenth century located in the Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York City.

The church survived the Great Fire of New York in 1776 and hosted congregations that had lost their premises in the fire, including Trinity Lutheran Church, an earlier name of the present Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Matthew (New York City).

The current Reformed Church of Tappan, Tappan, Rockland County, New York was built 1835 to designs influenced by the Cedar Street Presbyterian; founded 1694 and photographed February 2007

The Reformed Church of Tappan, in Tappan, Rockland County, New York was founded in 1694, and the current church building dates from 1835. It was designed according to the Federal style and inspired by the design of Cedar Street Presbyterian in Manhattan.

Although the original premise is no longer standing, the present Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church considers itself the spiritual daughter-church of Cedar Street Presbyterian. Cedar Street Presbyterian was the site of the teenage James Brainerd Taylor (1801–1829), a Connecticut-born Princeton University and Yale Divinity School-educated Second Great Awakening evangelist who made a public profession of faith on September 15, 1816.
