The Whistlefield Inn is a Category C listed building in Whistlefield, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, about twelve miles northwest of Dunoon. Built in 1663, it was originally a drover's inn on the route between Strachur and Ardentinny. It sits about 1,300 feet (400 m) from the eastern shores of Loch Eck.

A bar and restaurant, the business came under new management in September 2018. It closed in 2024.
