Boddam Castle is a ruined castle in Boddam, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was thought to have been built in the early 16th century as a seat for the Keiths of Ludquharn. It is a scheduled monument and was a Category B listed structure, though this was removed in 2015.[1][2]

Parts of the castle's cannons were still lying sunk in the bank as late as 1776.[3]
