Emmanuel Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Powhatan, Powhatan County, Virginia. It was built between 1842 and 1850, and is a one-story, vernacular Gothic Revival brick church building painted white. It features a stepped gable parapet, a half-octagonal apse which served as a vestry, and four tall window bays interspaced with slim buttresses.[4] It also contains a cemetery in the back yard and north side of the church.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
