Wingmead is a large farm and country estate in eastern Prairie County, Arkansas. Encompassing about 14,000 acres (5,700 ha) in all, it is one Arkansas's largest private estates, developed by Edgar Monsanto Queeny, a president of Monsanto Corporation. Its main house, built about 1939, is one of the state's grandest examples of Colonial Revival architecture. The estate includes several features related to nature conservation and hunting, particularly Peckerwood Lake, a 4,000-acre (1,600 ha) lake created by Queeny to promote duck habitat.

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
