Kingswells is a village and suburb of Aberdeen, Scotland, situated west of the city and to the east of Westhill.

Kingswells has existed as a village for centuries, but only beginning in the 1980s did it expand as a result of the boom in the oil industry. It has a wide range of local amenities including; a primary school, convenience store, doctor's surgery, veterinary surgery and two community halls. It doesn't include a secondary school however, there are school buses which run within the community providing efficient transport to nearby neighbouring secondary schools such as Bucksburn Academy.

The village is served by regular bus services.
