Horsham Friends Meeting is a Quaker meeting house located in Horsham, Pennsylvania, home to Horsham Monthly Meeting. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991-06-21. In addition to serving as a place of worship, the Quaker School at Horsham is located on the meeting's grounds. A carriage house is located next to the meeting and an attached graveyard is across situated across Easton Road, the street that the Meeting sits on.

Made of squared and cut stone, the meeting house is an example of a style of meeting houses known as "double meeting houses", so named due to their separate entrances for men and women. The current meeting house, built in 1803, is the third on the site. Horsham Friends Meeting was founded in 1716.

Horsham Meeting is an active Quaker community, and is a member of Abington Quarterly Meeting, of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting
