Cove Presbyterian Church, also known as Cove Meeting House and Rich Cove, is a historic Presbyterian church located at Covesville, Albemarle County, Virginia. It was built in 1809 and is a one-story, rectangular one-room, brick building. The building was rebuilt and renovated in 1880 after it was destroyed by a tornado on June 12, 1880. It features Gothic arched windows and a steeply pitched gable roof. It was built for a congregation established in 1747, and has remained in continuous use.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
