Northfield House, East Lothian, Category A listed country house in Prestonpans, Scotland.

Northfield House stands as a three-story L-plan structure with steep roofs, corner bartizans, and corbiestepped gables built in traditional Scottish architecture.

Joseph Marjoribanks, an Edinburgh merchant, purchased the property in 1607 and expanded it, marking this with an inscription above the door dated 1611.
