Charleton House, Category A listed country house in Fife, Scotland.

The 18th-century Charleton House features a plain six-bay south front and stands within extensive formal gardens surrounded by landscaped parkland.

Colonel John Anstruther-Thomson inherited the estate in 1797 and commissioned classical extensions between 1815 and 1817, with architect William Burn adding an east wing in 1832.

The estate includes a Japanese garden created by Colonel Charles Anstruther-Thomson following his visit to Japan in the 1890s, incorporating traditional design elements.

The estate now functions as an events venue with accommodation facilities, and since 1994 includes a golf course established within the parkland grounds.

Roy's Survey from 1747-55 first documented the designed landscape layout of Charleton House under its original name, Newburn.
