Sugar Grove Meetinghouse and Cemetery is a historic Quaker meeting house and cemetery located in Guilford Township, Hendricks County, Indiana. The meeting house was built in 1870, and enlarged in the late-1870s or early-1880s. It is a one-story, rectangular brick building with a gable roof and connected to other buildings by a covered porch. Also on the property are the contributing school house, privy, and storage shed. The cemetery includes burials dating from the 1840s to 1960s.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1] As of 2013, the meetinghouse was used occasionally by a local Quaker group and had been restored without modern plumbing, lights, or air conditioning.[3]
