Muckrach Castle, also known as Muchrach or Muckerach Castle, is a tower house near the Scottish town of Dulnain Bridge in the Highland council area, which is part of the Cairngorms National Park.

In 1971 the building was added to the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A, before being restored by the architect Ian Begg in 1978–85. It is, since then, used as a holiday apartment.
