Kyloe is a civil parish in the county of Northumberland, about 8 miles (13 km) south-east of Berwick-upon-Tweed. According to the parish council, the main centres of population are Fenwick, Beal, and Berrington (in the western "panhandle" of the parish). In 2011 it had a population of 338.

The grade-II-listed former Church of St Nicholas in Kyloe was built in the 18th century, replacing a medieval building, and is now a private house.

At East Kyloe, the ruins of a late 14th- or early 15th-century medieval tower house known as Kyloe Tower now form part of a complex of farm buildings.

The nearby woodland area is a famous area for rock climbing and bouldering. Known locally as 'Kyloe-In-The-Woods' or simply 'The Woods', the crags are home to some of the toughest climbs in the UK.
