Walnut Hill is a historic home located near Lynchburg, Campbell County, Virginia. The 1 1/2-story dwelling was built in several sections starting in 1802. The oldest section is a log dwelling with an internal gable-end stone chimney, and is now the south wing. Before 1820, a two-room-plan frame addition was built onto the north end of the log dwelling to become the main or front section of the house. One-story frame additions were made about 1870, in 1948-1950, and again in 1984. Also on the property are a contributing smokehouse, chicken house, kitchen chimney, and family cemetery.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
