Elmwood Plantation is a former plantation and a historic mansion, located in Rutherford County near Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

The mansion was designed in the Classical Revival architectural style.[2] During the Battle of Murfreesboro (also known as the Battle of Stones River) in 1862 to 1863, the Elmwood mansion was used as a hospital by the Union Army.
Elmwood has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 15, 1973, for its architectural and military significance.
