Pinckneyville is a historic frontier settlement site located near Union, Union County, South Carolina.

The property includes the original site of Pinckneyville and contains the ruins of the brick structure mistakenly referred to as the jail [3] and one other brick building, usually referred to as the old store.[4][5]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.[1]
