Tinsley Tavern, also known as Tinsleyville Tavern, is a historic inn and tavern located near Columbia in Goochland County, Virginia. It was built about 1802, and is a two-story, vernacular Federal period building. It has a center passage plan, and features wood-frame construction with weatherboard cladding. A 1+12-story, rear addition dates to about 1920. The building was used as a drover's tavern until 1836, after which it was occupied as a single family home.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
