Old Drawyers Church is a historic Presbyterian church on U.S. 13 near Odessa, New Castle County, Delaware. The congregation was founded by Dutch and Swedish immigrants, though by the time the church was built the congregation was largely made up of Scottish immigrants.

It was built between 1769 and 1773, and is a two-story, five bay brick building in the Georgian style. It features an elaborate Georgian doorway and gable roof. The interior features an ornate soundingboard, suspended over the open pulpit.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
