The Amersham Meeting house is a Friends meeting house (a Quaker place of worship) on Whielden Road in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. It is listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England.[1] The meeting for worship is held on Sundays at 11 am.[2]

The meeting house forms part of an extension to the adjoining cottage, Whielden Cottage, which was built c. 1600. The cottage was extended in 1689 to serve as a Quaker meeting house for the Quakers who had begun to meet in Amersham from the 1660s. The Amersham Quakers received a letter from the noted early Quaker Isaac Penington in 1667.[3]

It was extended and refronted in red brick in the late 18th century. The meeting room is divided into two by a wooden screen with shutters. A large burial ground is situated to the north and west of the house.[1]

The library of the Amersham Quakers is registered on LibraryThing.[4]
