The Christ Church at the Quarry is a historic church in Gambier, Ohio. It was built in 1863 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

It is a "beautiful stone chapel" with both Gothic and Celtic design influences, with exterior walls built of stone cut from a nearby quarry.

It derived from Kenyon College students' starting a mission in Gambier and opening a Sunday School. Then participants in the mission sought to build a church. It is likely that the church was designed by architect William Tinsley. Tinsley designed Ascension Hall on the Kenyon College campus around that time.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YfvhVln0D20C&pg=GBS.PA419.w.1.2.0.1 |title=Ohio Historic Places Dictionary, Volume 2 |date=1999 |publisher=Somerset Publishers, Inc.|editor=Lorrie K.
