Carmyllie (Gaelic: Càrn Mhoillidh) is a rural parish in Angus, Scotland. It is situated on high ground between Arbroath, on the coast, and the inland county town of Forfar. The main settlements in the parish are Redford, Greystone, Guynd and Milton of Carmyllie. There is a Church of Scotland church and a primary school. The Elliot Water rises in the west of the parish.

Carmyllie was formerly known for its stone quarries. For many centuries these produced high quality sandstone that was shipped all over the world. Carmyllie post office was closed in September 2008. Between 1900 and 1965 Carmyllie was linked to Arbroath by the Carmyllie Railway.

Carmyllie has a traditional association with Clan Strachan.

There is also a Carmyllie in the South Island of New Zealand, some 76 km east of Invercargill.
