The Whitneyville Congregational Church, now the Whitneyville United Church of Christ, is a historic Congregational Church at 1247-1253 Whitney Avenue in the Whitneyville section of Hamden, Connecticut.

Russell. It has an entrance deeply recessed behind a pair of fluted columns, flanked on the sides by pilasters rising to support a triangular pediment.[3]
