Fourth Baptist Church is a historic African-American Baptist church located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1884, and is a three-story, Greek Revival style stuccoed brick structure. It features a distyle portico in antis elevated on a high podium. It consists of two unfluted Doric order columns and paired pilasters supporting a Doric entablature. Attached to the church is a Sunday School building erected in 1964.
The addition was designed by Ethel Bailey Furman (1893-1976), the first Black woman to practice architecture in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. A former pastor was Richmond mayor Leonidas B. Young, II, who was convicted of defrauding the church at one point during his career.
