Oakwood is a historic house at Harwood, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It was built in the 1850s and is a 2 12-story, frame vernacular farmhouse with Greek Revival influenced details. It is a highly intact, mid-19th-century tobacco plantation dwelling and is associated with Sprigg Harwood, a leader in the failed initiative to have Maryland leave the Union and align with the newly formed Confederate States of America.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
