Fat Oxen is a historic home located near Urbana, Frederick County, Maryland, United States. It is a 1+1⁄2-story Flemish bond brick house over a high rough stone foundation, with a shorter kitchen wing. It was built about 1775 and is basically Georgian vernacular architecture in style. The home is a notable example of an English farmhouse in a region that was largely populated by German Americans.
