Tobacco Row is a collection of tobacco warehouses and cigarette factories in Richmond, Virginia, adjacent to the James River and Kanawha Canal near its eastern terminus at the head of navigation of the James River.

Beginning in the 18th century, many growers and shippers of Virginia's major cash-crop of tobacco maintained facilities there, as well as directly across the river at Manchester.
