The Green River Ordnance Plant, also known as the Green River Arsenal, is a large munitions factory complex between Dixon and Amboy in Lee County, Illinois.

It was rapidly constructed in 1942 and just as quickly shut down in 1945. Stewart-Warner Corporation operated the complex to produce rocket-propelled bazooka ammunition for use during World War II. [1]

It lies on the south side of U.S. Highway 30.
