Castle Croft was located near New Leslie farm, about {{convert|5|km}} south-west of Insch, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was the property of the Leslie family from the later 15th century.

The castle is recorded as being in ruins in 1724, and the final remains were removed in 1842.{{cite web |url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/17622/castle-croft-new-leslie |title=Castle Croft, New Leslie |work=Canmore |publisher=Historic Environment Scotland}} No trace of the castle can be seen today.{{cite book| last=Coventry |first=Martin |year=2015 |title=The Castles of Scotland |publisher=Goblinshead |edition=5th |isbn=9781899874552 |page=145}}
