    Highland, formerly Ash Lawn–Highland, located near Charlottesville, Virginia, United States, and adjacent to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, was the estate of James Monroe, fifth President of the United States.

Before and after selling Highland, Monroe spent much of his time living at Oak Hill. President Monroe simply called his home Highland. It did not acquire the additional name of Ash Lawn until after his death. The estate is now owned, operated and maintained by Monroe's alma mater, the College of William & Mary.
