Cornersville United Methodist Church, formerly Cornersville Methodist Episcopal Church South, is a historic church at 100 S. Mulberry Street in Cornersville, Tennessee.

The church's brick building was completed in 1852.[1][2] Its lower story was designed for religious use and the upper story was designed for Masonic meetings; the Masons relinquished their meeting space to the church in 1939.[2] In October 1862, the church hosted the Tennessee Annual Conference of its Methodist denomination because Civil War hostilities made it unsafe to meet in Nashville.[2] A fellowship hall was added in 1956.[2] The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
