Wheatfield may refer to:
Wheatfield, also known by Wheatfields, Resolution Manor, or Wheatfield Farm is a historic home located south of Ellicott City, Howard County, Maryland.
Wheatfield started on land patented to Samuel Chew in 1695 as " Chews Resolution Manor" and "Chews Vineyard". Caleb Dorsey inherited the land in 1718. In 1850 the 202 acre farm was purchased for $9,000 by James Clark. One son, James Clark Jr. left the farm to join the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia surviving prison camp to return as a cattle broker. His other son John Lawrence Clark (1855-) was born at Wheatfield. He maintained the farm raising a family that would be closely associated with Howard County business and politics. The Wheatfield manor house is built in progressively smaller sections in the "Telescope style" starting in 1802. A water table runs along the foundation of the property. The farm was sold to the Widdup family in 1950 for $50,000. In 1977 the property was owned by the Doll family, who had subdivided the land to 11 acres. The manor house has been demolished to build a residential housing development.
