Linthicum Walks is a historic home and farm complex at Crofton, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA. It consists of a 19th-century frame dwelling (part of which may be 18th century), a mid-19th century meathouse, a frame pre-1815 tobacco barn and a family cemetery dating to the mid 19th century.

The complex is representative of the vernacular architecture of rural Tidewater Maryland of the late 18th through mid 19th centuries.{{cite web | url = http://mht.maryland.gov/nr/NRDetail.aspx?NRID=814 | title=Linthicum Walks | work = Maryland's National Register Properties | publisher = Maryland Historical Trust, Maryland Department of Planning | date = 2015 | access-date = October 16, 2017}} The tobacco house is especially noteworthy, as one of only three pre-1815 tobacco houses surviving in the county.{{cite web|url=https://mht.maryland.gov/secure/medusa/PDF/NR_PDFs/NR-812.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Linthicum Walks |date=July 1975|accessdate=January 1, 2016 |first = Amy | last = Hiatt |publisher=Maryland Historical Trust}}
