Cedar Grove, also known as the William Tompkins House, is a historic home located at Cedar Grove, Kanawha County, West Virginia.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]

The two-story, five-bay, "double pile" rectangular brick house originally featured upper and lower verandas across the rear, but these were enclosed in the late 19th century. The colonial-style home features a small entrance portico with a second floor balcony.[2]

The original structures of slave quarters still stand on the property behind the main house.[3]
