Union Church of Port Royal, also known as Port Royal White Union Church, 11th Street Tabernacle, and Free Church of Port Royal, is a historic church located at Port Royal, Beaufort County, South Carolina. It was completed in 1878, and consists of a one-story, wood frame, brick-piered building with a central entry and portico. It has a cupola containing the church’s belfry. It was built with donated lumber by local citizens in 1877-1878 to provide the Port Royal community its only white house of worship at that time.[2][3]

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
