The Little Brick Church, also known as Virginia's Chapel and William Tompkins Church, is a historic church that sits along US Route 60 in Cedar Grove, Kanawha County, West Virginia. It was built in 1853, and is a small brick structure on a stone foundation. The building was nearly square when built, but lengthened within a few years. It features a louvered octagonal cupola, with finial. In 1912 a bell tower was added to the church. A mural behind the pulpit was painted by Forrest Hull in the early 1900s. The Chapel was occupied during the American Civil War by both sides. Originally a non-denominational chapel, it was for some time used exclusively by a Methodist congregation.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
