Old Finnish Lutheran Church is a historic church in Sinking Gardens on E. Main Street in Lead, South Dakota. It was built in 1891 and was added to the National Register in 1985.[1]

It was built in 1891 by John Niemi and John Saari. One of the church's members painted "an unusual altar painting" during 1905–1907.[2]

It was moved in 1963 across the street to its current location, the Sinking Gardens, an area of subsidence facing onto Lead's Main Street.[2]
