Fallin (/fəˈlɪn/) is a former pit village in Central Stirling, in the county of Stirlingshire. It was on the site of the Polmaise Colliery 3&4 (Polmaise Colliery 1&2 were situated in Milhall), and both of the names Polmaise and Fallin were commonly used. Fallin is regarded the last traditional pit village in Scotland. The area lies on the A905 road 3 miles east of Stirling on a bend in the River Forth. The 2001 United Kingdom census recorded the population as 2,710.
Fallin has been the site of several new housing developments and community initiatives.
