The Dover Slave Quarter Complex is a set of five historic structures located on Brookview Farm near Manakin-Sabot, Goochland County, Virginia. They were built as one-story, two-unit, brick structures with steep gable roofs for housing African-American slaves. The houses are arranged in a wide arc, measuring {{Cvt|360|ft|m}} in length. The center dwelling had a frame second-story added and its brick walls covered by siding when it was converted to an overseer's house. It has a recent rear addition.

In addition to the center dwelling, one of the former slave dwellings serves as the farm office, one serves as a woodworking shop, and the remaining two are used for storage. Also on the farm are the two early 20th-century contributing farm structures; one is an impressively long dairy barn, and there are two tenant houses, silos, and storage buildings.{{cite web |url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Goochland/037-5012_Dover_Slave_Quarter_Complex_2002_Final_Nomination.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Dover Slave Quarter Complex |author=Calder Loth and Jean McRae| date=May 2002|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources}} and [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Goochland/DoverSlave_photo.htm Accompanying photo]
