Roscoe Presbyterian Church and Westfield Flats Cemetery is a historic Presbyterian church and cemetery on Old NY 17 in Roscoe, Sullivan County, New York. The church was built about 1884 and is a simple rectangular wood-frame building, three bays wide and three bays deep, with a large rear cross-gabled wing. It features a narrow, engaged, center entrance tower surmounted by a spire. The cemetery contains about 200 burials, with the earliest dating to the first decade of the 19th century.^[2]

The church was spared during the 1916 downtown fire which destroyed 23 buildings.^[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.^[1]
