Masonville was a residential community and suburban neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. Historically, the town was one of five neighboring communities (along with Brooklyn, Curtis Bay, Fairfield , and Wagner's Point) sought and ultimately annexed by Baltimore City from Anne Arundel County in 1918.[1] The town was razed in its entirety in the 1950s, to accommodate the expansion of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's Curtis Bay terminal.[2][3]

The site of the former community is now primarily occupied by the Harbor Tunnel Thruway (part of Interstate 895).
