Main Street Methodist Episcopal Church South, also known as the Main Street United Methodist Church, is a historic Methodist church located at Danville, Virginia. It was built between 1865 and 1873, and is a scored stucco over brick, Romanesque Revival style porch. It features an elaborate 87 feet tall, corner bell tower that dates from an 1890-1891 church enlargement and remodeling. A complimentary flanking educational building was added in 1923. It is known locally as the "Mother Church of Methodism in Dansville."[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
