The West Kortright Centre is a non-profit arts and community center in Delaware County, New York, United States. Prior to 1975, the building housed the West Kortright Presbyterian Church. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
In 1975, local residents worked to repurpose the Greek Revival West Kortright Presbyterian Church, with its stained glass windows, kerosene chandeliers, and woodwork. It became a National Historic Landmark in 2002.
