Friends Church is a historic church at 314 W. Broadway in Maryville, in the U.S. state of Tennessee.

It was built in 1871 as a meetinghouse for the local congregation of the Society of Friends (Quakers). The Quakers were an important group in Maryville in the 19th century that played a major role in building the community's early schools, including the Freedman's Institute and Maryville Normal School. The single-story brick church is of Italianate design and is laid out on an ell plan.^[2]

Since 1940 the building has been used for Episcopal worship. It currently houses St. Andrew's Episcopal Church.^[3]

It is the oldest brick church in Blount County,^[2] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It became a Blount County historic landmark in 2007.^[3]
