The Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church near Keene, Kentucky is a historic church.

It began meeting in 1791 as part of the South Elkhorn Baptist Church community, was established as independent in 1801, with the current sanctuary being built in 1877 and added to the National Register in 1984.

It was deemed notable as "one of the few buildings remaining by the local builder A. M. Young", and as the best example of Romanesque Revival style among Jessamine County's rural churches.[2]
