The Cotton Mountain Community Church, also known as the Wolfeborough, Brookfield and Wakefield Meetinghouse, is a historic church on Stoneham Road in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, near the town line with Brookfield. The clapboarded wood-frame building was built in 1852 to serve local Methodist and Free Will Baptist congregations. It escaped major renovations in part because enrollments declined over the next 100 years; the building was sold in 1957 to the Cotton Mountain Community Church Association, dedicated to its preservation.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
