Buffalo Presbyterian Church and Cemetery is a historic Presbyterian church complex and cemetery located at 800 and 803 Sixteenth Street in Greensboro Guilford County, North Carolina. The Federal-style church sanctuary was built in 1827, and updated and expanded in 1919-1920 in the Colonial Revival style by architect Harry Barton (1876-1937). It was expanded again in 1956. Flanking the sanctuary are two-story Colonial Revival-style educational buildings linked to it by one-story arcades. The rectangular two-story Colonial Revival-style manse and garage were added to the complex in 1924. The church cemetery has burials dating back to 1775.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
