Christiansburg Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at 107 W. Main Street in Christiansburg, Montgomery County, Virginia. The church was organized in 1827.[2] [3] The building was erected in 1853 and is a four bay long, brick church building with a low hipped roof. It features a three-stage tower consisting of a low, plain base, a square belfry with coupled Doric order corner pilasters, and a blind lantern stage. The whole is capped by an octagonal spire. Also on the property is the contributing former Rectory, now known as the Kinnard Smith Building and used as a parish house.[4]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is located in the Christiansburg Downtown Historic District.
