Joseph Funk House is a historic home located at Singers Glen, Rockingham County, Virginia. It was built about 1810, and is a 1+1⁄2-story, log dwelling with a gable roof and an undercut front gallery. The house is sheathed with weatherboarding. Its builder Joseph Funk (1777-1862), was a leader in the Mennonite faith and an influential musical theorist who was the grandson of a German Palatine settler of Bernese Swiss descent. The second-floor room where the printing press, formerly located in a separate building, was placed was originally a loom room. It was converted to a school room in 1837. The building served as Funk's publishing house from 1847 until 1878.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
