Over United Reformed Church is in Swanlow Lane, Over, Winsford, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building,^[1] and continues to be an active congregation within the United Reformed Church.^[2]

The church is built in polychromatic brick with a slate roof and red sandstone dressings. It was originally built as a Congregational chapel and was the second church to be designed by John Douglas.^[3] It is an unusual building which Douglas' biographer Edward Hubbard describes as being "experimental" and as presenting "an astonishing sight".^[3] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner described it as "very ugly".^[4]
