Mount Athos is a historic archaeological site located at Kelly, Campbell County, Virginia. It consists of a stone run atop a wooded ridge overlooking the James River. The plantation house was built about 1800 for William J. Lewis (1766–1828) and was a one-story dwelling with a classical portico and polygonal projections inspired by the architecture of Thomas Jefferson, of whom Lewis was a friend. It was destroyed by fire in 1876.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
