Gum Creek is a historic home located near Columbia, Fluvanna County, Virginia. It was built about 1797, and is a 1 1/2-story, three bay, center passage plan frame dwelling on a stone foundation. Two one-story, shed roofed additions were built after 1839. It features unpainted original interior woodwork, a basement kitchen and stone and brick end chimneys. Also on the property are a contributing smokehouse, buggy shed, and the original stone-enclosed spring.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
