Salem School is a historic Rosenwald School building for African American children located near Red Oak, Charlotte County, Virginia. It was built in 1923-1924, and is a one-story, three-bay frame rectangular structure with weatherboard siding. It stands on a brick pier foundation. The school operated until 1959 when it was closed due to desegregation of the Charlotte County school system.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
