Mattaponi Church is a historic Episcopal church near Cumnor, King and Queen County, Virginia. The original section was built between about 1730 and 1734, and later modified about 1755. It is a one-story, cruciform, brick structure, measuring 84 feet, 6 inches, long by 64 feet. The church was restored after a fire gutted the interior in 1922. It has been used by Baptists since 1803.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
