Westmoreland Circle is a traffic circle straddling the border between the U.S. state of Maryland and the District of Columbia. The circle lies at the intersection of Western Avenue, Butterworth Place, Massachusetts Avenue, Dalecarlia Parkway, Wetherill Road, and Dalecarlia Drive. The grass area and trees within the interior of the circle are maintained by and under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.
There are only two buildings directly on Westmoreland Circle:
- The Westmoreland Congregational United Church of Christ is located at the circle's northern edge with its address as 1 Westmoreland Circle.
- A Pepco substation is between Massachusetts Avenue and Western Avenue, disguised as a house.
The Circle contains on its north and west sides a pair of entrance markers that the Garden Club of America erected to denote the entry of Massachusetts Avenue into the District of Columbia. The Circle also contains an AAA sign directing motorists to Kenwood Golf and Country Club.
