Dunlap Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic church in Brule County, South Dakota, located 12 miles north of Platte, South Dakota. It was built in 1902 and was added to the National Register in 2001. [1]

It is a wood-frame church on a stone foundation. [2]

The Dunlap cemetery, deemed contributing, was established at approximately the same time as the church. It includes gravestones dating from 1893 to 2001. [2]

The church was deemed notable "as a well-preserved example of simplified vernacular gothic architectural style and represents the first generation church construction in the eastern portion of the state." [2]
