Fotheringay is a historic plantation home located near Elliston, Montgomery County, Virginia. The house was built about 1796, and is a two-story, five bay brick dwelling with a hipped roof and deep two-story rear ell. It features a projecting two-level provincial type portico. The house was originally built as a three bay dwelling with the portico on the southernmost bay. It was expanded to the full five bays in the 1950s. It was the home of Col. George Hancock (1754-1820).

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
