The Adamstown Church,[1] or alternatively Adamstown Adventist Church,[2] is a religious building affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, located in the town of Adamstown[3] in the Pitcairn Islands, a dependent territory of the United Kingdom in Oceania, at an isolated end of the Pacific Ocean.

The building is located on the main street called "The Square".[4] The church is unique in the entire island of Pitcairn[5] (the only inhabited island of the archipelago) and is the product of a mission sent by Adventists who converted almost all of the small number of inhabitants of the island to that Protestant denomination.
