Morven is a historic home and farm located near Simeon, Albemarle County, Virginia. It was built about 1821, and consists of a two-story, five bay by two bay, brick main block with a two-story, three bay brick wing. The front facade features a one-bay porch with a pedimented gable roof and Tuscan order entablature, supported by four Tuscan columns. Also on the property are the contributing office and frame smokehouse.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Today the house and farm are the site of the University of Virginia's Sustainability Lab, after a gift to the University of Virginia by John Kluge.
