The Chris Jensen Round Barn was a historic round barn located at 11723 West Galena Road near Lena, Illinois. The barn was 60 feet (18 m) in diameter and featured a conical roof with a cupola. The barn's livestock stalls were arranged in parallel rows; this configuration was highly unusual among round barns, which typically featured wedge-shaped stalls arranged along the outer circle of the barn.^[2]

The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1984.^[1][3] It has since been demolished, though it is still on the Register.^[4]
