Chafin House, also known as Women's Club of Logan Library, is a historic home located at Logan, Logan County, West Virginia. The house was built about 1900, and is a two story, brick and frame dwelling a generous raised foundation of rock-faced ashlar. It has a cross-gabled roof with a gambrel front and large dormers on the sides. The house was deeded to the Women's Club of Logan in 1946, and has served as the local public library since then. It was the home of Sheriff Don Chafin, the infamous "Czar of Logan" and the leader of the defending forces in the Battle of Blair Mountain (1921).

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
