Ellon Castle is a scheduled monument within the town of Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Only ruins survive of the structure dating primarily from the 16th century, incorporating elements from the 15th century and later 18th-century alterations. The ruins form a focal point within a formal 6-acre (2.4 ha) garden laid out in 1745, centred on a Category A listed sundial dating from c. 1700.
