The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport is a large active Unitarian Universalist congregation in lower Fairfield that is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Its dramatic building in Westport, Connecticut was designed by modernist architect Victor A. Lundy and completed in 1965. It won an award from Architect magazine. The congregation was founded in 1949 as "The First Unitarian Fellowship of Fairfield County" and changed its name to "The Unitarian Church in Westport" in 1964; in 2023 it changed it to "The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport."
