The First Parish Church is a historic church at 207 Maine Street in Brunswick, Maine.

Mary Baard.
==Description and history==
The First Parish Church occupies a prominent location on a rise between downtown Brunswick and the Bowdoin College campus, which lies directly to its south. It is a single-story wood frame structure, whose Gothic Revival features include a buttressed tower, lancet-arched openings for doors and windows, and vertical board-and-batten siding. It originally had a spire, which was blown off in a storm in 1866 and not replaced.
The chuch congregation was founded in 1717, for which this is the fourth church. It was built, on the site of the third church, in 1846 by the labor of the congregation, to a design by the noted American architect Richard Upjohn. Funding was provided in part by Bowdoin College, and it has been used by the college for commencement exercises and other activities. The attached vestry was built in 1883.〔
On May 2, 1851, American author Harriet Beecher Stowe had a vision while sitting in pew 23 here wherein she saw an enslaved man wounded from a beating he endured from his enslaver.〔Pullen, John J. ''Joshua Chamberlain: A Hero's Life and Legacy''. Mechanicsburg, PA: Stackpole Books, 1999: 111. ISBN 0-8117-0886-1〕 The incident inspired her book ''Uncle Tom's Cabin''.〔Buchanan, Paul D. ''American Women's Rights Movement: A Chronology of Events and Opportunities, 1800–2008''. Boston: Branden Books, 2009: 51. ISBN 0-8283-2160-4〕 After years in disrepair, the church underwent extensive restoration, which was completed in 2004; the restoration earned the church a Maine Preservation Honor Award in 2006.〔
