Penge Congregational Church is a Congregational church in Penge in the London Borough of Bromley located on Penge High Street. It is organised under Congregational principles for all who believe in Jesus and is run under a basis of fellowship that includes all members of the church.

The building was constructed in 1911–1912 to designs by Percy Richard Morley Horder "with passage aisles and clerestory. Shafts on large, excellently carved corbels."[1] The structure appears fortress-like in its Romanesque Revival architectural style massing. It is Grade II listed.[2]

The church currently[when?] is in-between Ministers (in an interregnum) but the current Associate Minister is Pam Owen. Sunday Services are at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Penge Congregational Church is part of the Congregational Federation.
