Skelbo Castle is a ruined 14th century keep, located on the high shore at the mouth of Loch Fleet in the Highlands in Scotland. The remaining wall is best preserved at the northern side of the castle. The remains are protected as a scheduled monument.

In 1308 Robert the Bruce captured an earlier castle at the site belonging to the Sutherlands. In 1529 the castle was bought by William Sutherland of Duffus. A 16th-century house was built adjacent, but the whole site was abandoned as a residence in the 20th century.
