This is a list of plantations and pens in Jamaica by county and parish including historic parishes that have since been merged with modern ones. Plantations produced crops, such as sugar cane and coffee, while livestock pens produced animals for labour on plantations and for consumption. Both industries used the forced labour of enslaved peoples.{{cite journal |last1=Higman |first1=B W |title=The Internal Economy of Jamaican Pens: 1760–1890 |journal=Social and Economic Studies |volume=38 |issue=1 |pages=61–86}}

James Robertson's map of Jamaica, published in 1804 based on a survey of 1796–99, identified 814 sugar plantations and around 2,500 pens or non-sugar plantations.[https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/maps/caribbean/jamaica#zoom=15&lng=-76.897945&lat=18.350615&estate_id=1809 Jamaica.] Legacies of British Slave-ownership, UCL.
