Plain Dealing is a historic home located near Keene, Albemarle County, Virginia. It is an "H"-shaped dwelling, consisting of a two-story main block and a parallel 1 1/2-story rear wing connected by a two-story hyphen. The two-story main section was built about 1787, and the 1 1/2-story wing may predate it. The front facade is five bays wide, and features an original tetrastyle porch supported on Doric order piers.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
