Buffalo Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian Church located in Pamplin, Prince Edward County, Virginia. It was built about 1804, and is a simple frame weatherboarded structure with a gable roof covered with standing seam metal. Early in the 20th century the front of the church was reoriented to the east and in 1931 an addition was made consisting of an entrance vestibule flanked on either side by a small classroom. Also on the property is the contributing church cemetery with a number of stone markers, the earliest of which is dated 1832. The congregation of Buffalo was formed in 1739 and is the earliest extant Presbyterian congregation in Southside Virginia.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
