The Garvin Rock Church is a historic church at Love and Williams Streets in Garvin, Oklahoma. Also known as Old Rock Church, it was built in 1910 and added to the National Register in 1980.

It was an impressive church for its small town, when completed in 1910. It is about 44 by 64 feet (13 m × 20 m) in plan, with three crenelated towers, the tallest of which stands 25 feet (7.6 m) tall. It has two sets of stained glass windows.
