Clifton is a historic home located near Lexington, Rockbridge County, Virginia. The house was built about 1815, and is a two-story, seven-bay, Federal style brick dwelling. It has a side-gable roof and four chimneys. A two-story portico replaced an earlier Victorian portico in the 1980s. The property includes the contributing small stone servant's quarters or foreman's house and a wooden icehouse.

The address is 205 Old Buena Vista Road. It was built by Major John Alexander and overlooks the Maury River. Washington and Lee rowing teams would race at this location in the late 1800s.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
