Sandston is an unincorporated community in Henrico County, Virginia located near the state capital Richmond. Sandston is adjacent to the Richmond International Airport.

During World War I, a number of homes were built in the area for both non-commissioned officers and enlisted men. After the war, an investment group headed by Oliver J. Sands bought the land and buildings when they came up for sale as surplus. The community was named Sandston after Mr. Sands, who was President of the Richmond and Fairfield Railway, the electric street railway line which ran through Highland Springs and Fair Oaks to the National Cemetery at Seven Pines.

The community was later served by Fairfield Transit Company, whose old bus barn was extant at Seven Pines in 2005, as was the earlier trolley car barn in Richmond on North 29th Street.
