Stony Point is a historic house in Surgoinsville, Tennessee, U.S.. It was built prior to 1791 on a land grant given to William Armstrong in the 1780s.[2] It is "one of the earliest brick dwellings built in the state" of Tennessee.[2] Armstrong lived here with his wife, née Elizabeth Galbraith, and their children.[2] In 1797, Armstrong invited French King Louis Philippe to his estate.[2] By the 1970s, the house had remained in the Armstrong family.[2]

The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 26, 1973.[1]
