Cluny Crichton Castle (also known as Clounie Crighton Castle) is a ruined 3-story tower house in Aberdeenshire on the southern slopes of the Hill of Fare, 4km (2.5 miles) north of Banchory and 6.5km (4 miles) east of Torphins. The castle was built in 1666 in a modified L-plan design. Little is known of the history of the castle, it was built by George Crichton shortly after his marriage to the only daughter of Sir Robert Douglas of Tilquhillie. The castle has fallen into ruin with some stones being taken for construction of nearby farmsteads.

The castle now stands in agricultural land on the Cluny Crichton Farm.
