The Old Quaker Meeting House is a historic Quaker house of worship, built in 1694.

The Flushing Friends Quaker Meeting House, also the Old Quaker Meeting House, is a historic Quaker house of worship located at 137-16 Northern Boulevard, in Flushing, Queens, New York. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1967 and a New York City designated landmark in 1970. Today, it still serves as a Quaker Meeting, with meetings for worship taking place every Sunday. It is recognized as the oldest house of worship in the state of New York. Because Quakers did not refer to their buildings as "churches," it often holds the title of "oldest religious building" or "oldest house of worship" rather than "oldest church." It is also the second-oldest Quaker meeting house in the United States.
