Main Street Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as the Main Street United Methodist Church, is a historic Methodist church located at Danville, Virginia. It was built between 1865 and 1873, and is a scored stucco over brick, Romanesque Revival style porch. It features an elaborate 87 feet tall, corner bell tower that dates from an 1890-1891 church enlargement and remodeling. A complimentary flanking educational building was added in 1923. It is known locally as the "Mother Church of Methodism in Dansville."

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
