Dancyville United Methodist Church is a historic church in the Dancyville community in Haywood County, Tennessee. The church and its cemetery were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]

The church property was deeded to the Methodist Church in 1835. Two years later, in 1837, the congregation was organized and a log church building was built on the property.[2] The current building was completed in 1850, replacing the log church. It is a wood frame building in a Greek Revival design, built from trees growing on the church grounds; the lumber was hewn and sawed by hand.[2][3] It is one of only a few extant antebellum churches in rural west Tennessee.[2]
