Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Prince William County, United States.

The refuge covers 325 acres of upland forest and freshwater tidal marsh along the Potomac River at the junction with Neabsco Creek.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established this protected area in 1970 to conserve natural habitats along the Potomac River watershed.

The refuge forms part of the Potomac River National Wildlife Refuge Complex, supporting scientific research and environmental monitoring of regional ecosystems.

Access to the refuge requires non-motorized watercraft through the boat landing at the southern end of Farm Creek.

A CSX Transportation railroad spans through the refuge, carrying both high-speed passenger and freight trains across the protected natural environment.
