Stonewall Farm (AKA Stonewall Stallions) is a thoroughbred race horse breeding farm in Versailles, Kentucky established in 1852. It is named for its famous "stone wall" built during the Civil War by Irishman John Kearney in 1863. Originally owned by Major Warren Viley, it was known as Woodford (County) Stud.

Lexington, Leading sire in North America 16 times, stood at stud there in the 1860s and 1870s.
