Viney Fork Baptist Church is a historic church near Speedwell in Madison County, Kentucky, at the intersection of county roads 499 and 374. It was built in 1802 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]

It is a one-and-a-half-story cut sandstone building. Its gable end has a short, squared wooden bell tower. It was deemed notable as "an example of a rural country church notable for its use of windows whose blunted arched shape represent a local interpretation of the Gothic style."[2]
