Shandford Souterrain is an Iron Age underground stone-built passage located approximately 700 metres east of Shandford in Angus, Scotland.

The monument represents the archaeological evidence of Iron Age occupation and engineering practice in eastern Scotland, a region particularly rich in such subterranean structures.
