The Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church, is a Presbyterian church founded in 1740,^[3] and is the oldest Presbyterian congregation in the Valley of Virginia (the Shenandoah Valley).^[4] Its historic building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

The church's first building was a log structure built during 1742–1748. Its 1850 Greek Revival building is its third building, and is significant architecturally for being designed by Robert Lewis Dabney who served as pastor there from 1852–1857.^[4]^[5] This Greek Revival building, along with two other churches designed by Dabney, is credited with influencing ecclesiastical architecture in Virginia.^[4] Dabney designed at least two other NRHP-listed churches, Briery Church, in Briery, Virginia, and New Providence Presbyterian Church, near Brownsburg, Virginia.^[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[1]
