Mount Dillon was an estate and plantation in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. It was located on a then-rural part of the road to Frederick, seven miles from the town of Baltimore, and two miles north of the location where Catonsville later developed, whose residental sprawl now encompasses the site of the former estate.
The estate was built around the 1770s by American politician and Founding Father Daniel Carroll. Carroll had leased adjacent land by the estate which he named Dillonsfield, which became Johnnycake Town by the early 19th century.
Mount Dillon was owned since 1846 by Samuel Kirk Crosby and still had its old slaves' quarters when Crosby arrived. Tracts of land from the estate were sold from Mount Dillon in 1916 and 1919, and it was entirely sold by Miriam S. Crosby to Dr. Henry M. Rowe in 1919.
