The Old South Meeting House, in Boston, Massachusetts, gained fame as the organizing point for the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773. 5,000 colonists gathered at the Meeting House, the largest building in Boston at the time. The church, with its 56 m (183 ft) steeple, was completed in 1729. It was almost destroyed in the Great Fire of Boston in 1872, and the congregation then built a new church (the "New" Old South Church at Copley Square) which remains its home to this day.

Famous congregation members have included Samuel Adams, William Dawes, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Sewall, and Phillis Wheatley.

The church is located at the intersection of Washington and Arch Streets and can be visited for a nominal sum. It is located near the State Street and Park Street MBTA (subway) stations.
