Turriff Castle was a tower house in Turriff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, located on Castlegate.[1] It still existed in 1610 or 1612.[2] The castle was also known as the Tower of Torrey.[2]

The castle stood in an area bounded by Castlehill, Mill Road, Gall Street and Deveron Street.[2] A later building on or near the site was known as "Castle Rainy", and stood on the site of the Town Hall until it was cleared in the mid-19th century.[3]
