Craignethan Castle is a ruined castle in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. Built in the first half of the 16th century, Craignethan is recognised as an excellent early example of a sophisticated artillery fortification,although its defences were never fully tested. The castle was the last purpose-built fortress constructed in Scotland, in the 1530s by Sir James Hamilton of Finnart.

Craignethan Castle is located above the River Nethan, a tributary of the River Clyde. The castle is two miles west of the village of Crossford, and 4.5 miles north-west of Lanark.
