The First Parish Church Site-Dover Point is a historic church site on Dover Point Road in Dover, New Hampshire. It is the site of the second meetinghouse of the First Parish Church, a congregation established in 1633. The meetinghouse was, according to surviving documentation, 40 feet (12 m) long and 26 feet (7.9 m) wide, and was built in 1653. In 1713 a new meetinghouse was built at "Pine Hill", where Dover's center is now located, and services were halted at this location around 1720. The building was demolished later in the 18th century. The site is located on the west side of Dover Point Road, and includes the foundations of a palisade and earthworks that once surrounded the church.[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
