The Drayton United Methodist Church in Drayton, North Dakota, United States was built from 1905 to 1906 in a Romanesque Revival style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

It was a work of New York City architect A. W. McCrea, Jr., who was from Drayton. Its exterior is Drayton brick, and the design conforms to what is known as the Akron Plan, of the Protestant revivalist movement. The church was founded by Scots-Irish Methodist immigrants from Eastern Canada.[2]
