The Reformed Church in Tășnad, Romania, was first consecrated as a Roman Catholic church in 1476. During the 16th century, it became part of the Reformed tradition, a Protestant movement that emerged during the Reformation. The church is affiliated with the Reformed Church in Romania.

A fire damaged the building in 1660, and it was temporarily rebuilt in wood. During the 18th century, the church was reconstructed in masonry. Its tower and spire were completed in 1822.
