Snyder Memorial Methodist Church, originally known as Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, is a historic 1903 church in Jacksonville, Florida. It is located at 226 North Laura Street in Duval County (on the historic corner of Laura and Monroe streets). The Snyder Memorial Methodist congregation was founded in 1870, and the church was constructed following the loss of a previous church during the 1901 Jacksonville Fire on the same site as its predecessor. J. H. W. Hawkins was the building's architect. The new church was named Snyder Memorial in honor of former pastor E.B. Snyder whose children contributed to the rebuilding effort. It was moved to its current location after being purchased by a band. It was later sold to the City of Jacksonville. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 2013.
