Tarland (Gaelic: Turlann) is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Aboyne, and 30 miles (50 km) west of Aberdeen. The population was 720 in 2016.

Tarland is home to the Culsh Earth House, an Iron Age below-ground dwelling otherwise known as a Souterrain.

Tomnaverie stone circle

Just south of Tarland is the Tomnaverie stone circle, a 4,000-year-old recumbent stone circle. The land is owned by the MacRobert Trust and in the care of Historic Scotland. The circle was recently restored with help from a donation by the trust.

Melgum Lodge near Tarland was originally built as a hunting lodge for the physician to Queen Victoria who frequently stayed in the vicinity at Balmoral Castle.
