Thomas Chapel C.M.E. Church is a historic church on Moscow Avenue in Hickman, Kentucky. It is part of the Christian Methodist Episcopal denomination formed in the South after the American Civil War.

On December 16, 1870 in Jackson, Tennessee, 41 freedmen who were former members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South organized what was then called the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. (The Methodist Church had split before the war into North and South denominations.) This denomination was composed primarily of African Americans who wanted to have their own churches free of white supervision. In 1954 they changed the name of the denomination to the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.

This church was built in 1895 and added to the National Register in 1979.^[1]
