Briery Church is a historic Presbyterian Church located at Briery, Prince Edward County, Virginia. The present building was designed by Rev. Robert Lewis Dabney (1820-1898) and built about 1855. It is a one-story, board-and-batten covered frame structure with a T-shaped plan. It has a steep gable roof with overhanging eaves, three cross gables, and lancet window openings in the Gothic Revival style.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
The first house of worship was built about 1760. In 1766, funds were raised as part of a plan to 'support the gospel' which enabled the purchase of slaves that were then rented out.
