McDowell Presbyterian Church is a historic church located at McDowell, Highland County, Virginia. Originally named Central Union Church, it was established in 1822 in a purpose-built log cabin. The present Greek Revival building was built in 1855–1856 and was used as a barracks and hospital by both Confederate and Union troops before and after the Battle of McDowell in May 1862 during the American Civil War. By 1880 the church was renamed McDowell Presbyterian.
