The Ojo Caliente Hot Springs Round Barn in Ojo Caliente, New Mexico is a 65 feet (20 m) tall round barn that was built in 1924. It is a two-story building with adobe walls on a concrete foundation, and has a hexagonal cupola. It was built to serve as a dairy barn serving the hot springs area. It was restored in 2002, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
At the time of its NRHP listing, it was believed to be the only round barn in New Mexico and the only adobe round barn in the nation. It is within sight of U.S. Route 285.
