Deskie Castle is a medieval fortified structure located in Banffshire, north-east Scotland. The castle survives as a ruined stone tower of uncertain but likely medieval date, representing the defensive architecture characteristic of the region's feudal landholding patterns. Its precise construction date and the identity of its original builders remain subjects of scholarly investigation, though it reflects the pattern of castle-building undertaken by regional magnates during the medieval period. The site is recorded within the Historic Environment Record as a scheduled ancient monument under the designation HES INSPIRE SM2341.
