Tamil Methodist Church Kuala Lumpur (GPS: 3.13087, 101.68786) is a church along Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. The church has services in English and Tamil as well as in Nepali, Telegu and Sinhalese. As of April, 2015, it is led by Reverend Justin Clarance. This is one of the two Tamil-speaking Methodist congregations within Kuala Lumpur, the other being Tamil Methodist Church Sentul.

The Tamil Methodist Church Brickfields traces its roots as far back as 1896, when Tamil Christians began church-planting activity in Kuala Lumpur, resulting in the founding of the Tamil Methodist Church on 18 June, 1897. In the very beginning, the English-speaking, Tamil-speaking and Chinese-speaking congregations were housed within a single location, initially at Batu Road (present-day Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman). Over the decades, the church premise has relocated to various places in Kuala Lumpur, including Jawa Street (present-day Jalan Tun Perak) and Malacca Street (Jalan Melaka) in the city centre.

The present location of the Tamil Methodist Church in Brickfields goes back to 1960, when the one-acre site on Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad was obtained. The Brickfields Sanctuary was dedicated in 1961.
