Woodlawn, also known as Woodlawn Plantation, was a historic home and farm complex located near Vernon Hill, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. It was built about 1815, and was a relatively small but unusual, two-part manor house. It consisted of two 1+12-story main blocks connected by a hyphen, that are nearly identical in size, shape, and materials. The house was of heavy timber-frame construction sheathed in weatherboard. The interior featured Federal style decorative details. Also on the property the contributing early-19th century log smokehouse, and a family cemetery.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] The house was demolished in 2015 and removed from the National Register in 2017.

This is one of five historic houses in Virginia that are named "Woodlawn".[4] Others can be found listed under Woodlawn, Virginia.
