Stoun Mauntin (engl. Stone Mountain) je velika granitna stena u Stoun Mauntinu predgrađu Atlante (Džordžija). Visoka je 513 metara i 252 metara iznad neposredne okoline. Na severnoj padini postoji uklesan najveći bareljef na svetu koji prikazuje vođe Konfederacije: Stounvola Džeksona, Roberta Lija i Džefersona Dejvisa.[1]
Stoun Mauntin je nekada bio u vlasništvu braće Venejbl, prvobitno korišćen kao kamenolom. Godine 1958, na inicijativu guvernera Marvina Grifina, kupila ga je država Džordžija za 1.125.000 dolara. Godine 1963, Voker Henkok je izabran da završi rezbarenje i radove je počeo sledeće godine. Rezbarenje je završio Roj Fokner 3. marta 1972. godine.[2]
