Jarvisfield, Picton, Heritage site in Picton, Australia.

Jarvisfield is a former pastoral property on the Old Hume Highway at Picton, now a golf course. Its 1863 house was designed by architect-engineer William Weaver, with bricks made on the property. The site also holds the Antill family vault on a hill north of Picton.

Henry Colden Antill received a 2,000-acre grant in 1822 and built a slab homestead in the 1810s. He replaced it around 1823–24 with a house named Wilton, later renamed Jarvisfield after Governor Macquarie's first wife's maiden name. Architect William Weaver designed the current house, built in 1863, and a third house followed in 1864–65 under John Macquarie Antill.

The name Jarvisfield honours Jane Jarvis, first wife of Governor Lachlan Macquarie and a friend of Henry Colden Antill from their time in India; it echoes Macquarie's own property, Jarvis Field, on the Isle of Mull. Antill had earlier called the house Wilton, after his father's American estate. The Antill family lived here from about 1817 until 1937, and Henry was buried in the family vault on a hill north of Picton.

Jarvisfield lies on the Old Hume Highway at Picton, in the Wollondilly Shire of New South Wales, and is owned by the Wollondilly Shire Council. The heritage-listed homestead stands within a golf course, so visitors should keep to paths and areas the club allows. The site was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

Major Antill named the estate Jarvisfield after the maiden name of Governor Macquarie's first wife, Jane Jarvis, whom he had known in India; the name came from a Macquarie property on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. Antill died in 1852 and was buried in the family vault on a hill north of Picton, overlooking the town.
