Protestant Christian churches in Mongolia are Lutheran, Presbyterians, Seventh-day Adventists and various evangelical Protestant groups.

In 2020, Protestants made up 1.10% of the country's population.^[1]

Protestant Christian teaching did not reach Mongolia until the mid-19th century, brought by missionaries such as James Gilmour. The rise of a communist government in the 1920s meant an end of the Protestant Christian missions. However, since the end of communism in 1990, Protestant missionaries have become active again.^[2]

The country has a local Christian TV station, Eagle TV,^[3] and a pro-Christian radio station, Family Radio.

The first Seventh-day Adventist Church came from efforts by American missionaries starting in 1991.^[4]^[5] As of the 2015 yearbook, the Mongolia Mission had 5 churches, 2107 members and a language school in Ulaanbaatar.^[6]
