Glebe House of Southwark Parish, also known as The Old Glebe, is a historic glebe house located near Spring Grove, Surry County, Virginia. It was built about 1724, and is a 1 1/2-story, three bay, single pile, central-hall plan brick dwelling. It has a gambrel roof with dormers, added in the 19th century, has exterior end chimneys, and sits on a brick basement. Also on the property is a contributing frame smokehouse. The glebe house was sold, as required by the legislature during the Disestablishment of 1802. It was subsequently remodeled and used as a private dwelling.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
