Plantersville is an unincorporated community in Dallas County, Alabama, United States.

After the Civil War Battle of Ebenezer Church (April 1, 1865), Union troops burned the railroad depot at Plantersville and a cotton warehouse.

Maj. Gen. James H. Wilson's troops spent the night camped in Plantersville, then on to the Battle of Selma the next day.

Provisional governor Lewis E. Parsons, later describing the horrors of the war, said that "indeed, after three weeks had elapsed, it was with difficulty you could travel the road from Plantersville to that city (i.e. Selma), so offensive was the atmosphere, in consequence of decaying horses and mules that lay along the road-side.

Every description of ruin, except the interred dead of the human family, met the eye.
