Leigh Street Baptist Church, also known as Church Hill Presbyterian Church, is a historic Southern Baptist church in Church Hill North Historic District which is in Richmond, Virginia. It was designed by architect Samuel Sloan and built between 1854 and 1857. It is a three-story, Greek Revival style stuccoed brick structure. It features a Grecian Doric, pedimented portico with six fluted columns and a full entablature which continues around the side of the church. Additions were made in 1911, 1917, and 1930.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1] In 2021, the Baptist congregation transferred its building to Church Hill Presbyterian Church, a church plant of the Presbyterian Church in America.[4]
