Second Presbyterian Church is a historic church at 4501 Westminster Place in St. Louis, Missouri.
The congregation was founded in 1838 by the Old School Presbytery of St. Louis. It has had three buildings. Its first building, designed in the Greek Revival architectural style and completed in 1840, was located at Fifth (Broadway) and Walnut Streets. Thirty years later, in 1870, a second church building was erected on Lucas Place at Seventeenth Street.
The third and current building was completed in 1896. It was designed by German-born architect Theodore C. Link. The adjacent education building was completed in 1931.
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975.
