The Magnolia Grange is a historic mansion located across from the Chesterfield County Courthouse in Chesterfield, Chesterfield County, Virginia. This brick plantation house was built in 1823, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling in the Federal style.[3] It is known for its elaborate woodwork and ornamental ceiling medallions.[4]

The house was restored in the 1970s with Zuber scenic wallpaper of a hunting landscape[5] that was installed in the front hallway. Magnolia Grange was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

The plantation house is operated as a historic house museum by the Chesterfield Historical Society.
