The Old Time Gospel Hour Quartet is a Southern Gospel Quartet that was formed by Jerry Falwell (not a member) at Thomas Road Baptist Church in 2000. The group performs weekly on The Old Time Gospel Hour TV program that Falwell hosts, in addition to having a small travel schedule. In addition to selling their merchandise at concerts, they also recruit students for Liberty University.

The group quickly became one of the most popular new groups in the [[Southern Gospel] genre, even winning a Singing News Fan Awards for Singing News Fan Awards for Favorite Horizon Group in 2001. The group's popularity was hurt by the departure of founding tenor Robbie Hiner in 2005 and by sponsor Jerry Falwell's death in 2007. After Tony Jarman announced his departure in October 2007, the group announced its disbandment on November 7, 2007.
