Central Park Presbyterian Church was a Presbyterian church located at 4212 Avenue Q, at the intersection of 43rd Street Ensley, two blocks north of Bessemer Road in Birmingham's Belview Heights neighborhood. It was founded in 1924.
The church's 1926 Spanish mission-style church building, designed by Miller & Martin architects and constructed by White & Coleman, is a contributing structure to the Belview Heights Historic District.
