The Town Clock Church, currently the Second Baptist Church of New Albany, Indiana is a historic church located at 300 East Main Street, within the New Albany Downtown Historic District. It was originally constructed in 1852 as Second Presbyterian Church, in what was then the largest city in Indiana. It is near the Ohio River, across the border from Louisville, Kentucky. It was a station on the Underground Railroad.

The church is brick, and is constructed in the Greek Revival style of architecture. It previously had a 160-foot high clock tower that could be seen by boat crews on the Ohio River. However, the tower has been shortened.
