Burrelton is a small village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies in the parish of Cargill, 2 miles (3 kilometres) from Coupar Angus and 10 miles (16 kilometres) from Perth. It is adjoined by another, smaller village, Woodside. The population in 2001 was 621.
A planned village, Burrelton was founded in 1812 by Peter Drummond-Burrel, the laird of Stobhall.

It became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by the British Transport Commission.
