Fort Nelson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution Chapter House is a historic Daughters of the American Revolution clubhouse located at Portsmouth, Virginia. It was built in 1935, and is a 1+1⁄2-story, Colonial Revival style frame building. The building appears much like a 20th-century adaptation of a wood-frame Tidewater House. It features a central entrance sheltered by a Classical overhang supported by scrolled brackets.[3][4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
