Dovecote at Hawley Manor is a post-medieval stone structure located in Kent, England.

Constructed in the sixteenth or seventeenth century, it represents the type of specialised farm building characteristic of prosperous manorial holdings during the early modern period. The dovecote survives as evidence of the husbandry practices and economic organisation of Hawley Manor during this era.
