Ardvourlie Castle is a 19th-century country house on Harris, one of the Western Isles off the north-west coast of Scotland. The house was built beside Loch Seaforth in 1863 as a hunting lodge on the North Harris Estate, for Charles Murray, 7th Earl of Dunmore, the then owner of the island.{{cite web| url=http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/118930/details/harris+ardvourlie+castle/ | title=Ardvourlie Castle | accessdate=2010-06-18}} It is a category B listed building.{{cite web |url=http://portal.historic-scotland.gov.uk/designation/LB49675 |title=Ardvourlie Castle Including Garden Terrace Walls, Slipway and Bridge |publisher=Historic Environment Scotland}}
