Mt. Zion Memorial Church, also known as Mt. Zion Methodist Episcopal Church or Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, is a historic Methodist Episcopal church located at Princess Anne, Somerset County, Maryland. It is a single-story asymmetrically planned T-shaped timber-frame structure constructed in 1887 and remodeled in 1916. It features a three-story entrance tower with an open belfry. It served the African-American community along Polks Road in northern Somerset County.[2]

Its design is attributed to architect Benjamin D. Price, who sold church plans by catalogue orders.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
