Skinquarter is an unincorporated town located off U.S. Route 360 in the western part of Chesterfield County in Virginia.

The town is named for a spring nearby where the Indians would skin and quarter deer. The early settlers coined the name Skinquarter and it has remained to this day.

The Baptist Church that bears the name "Skinquarter" was founded in 1778. The first building was close to the spring. The present church building is the third or fourth building to be occupied by the church but it has kept the name Skinquarter continuously.
