Doune is a burgh in the district of Stirling, Scotland, on the River Teith. The town is dominated by Doune Castle, built in the late-14th century. Architecturally it is a mixture of fortress and manor house.

Doune was also famous for its manufacture of pistols, but this eventually ceased due to the competition of manufacturers in, for example, Birmingham where production was cheaper. Today, these pistols are collected and can be found in major museums, including the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. Allegedly a Doune pistol fired the first shot of the American War of Independence.

Land east of Doune was owned by the Stirling of Kier family and the current owner of the Kier Estates is the politician, Archie Stirling. One member of the family, SAS founder David Stirling, is memorialised at a monument on the Kier land near Doune known as the "Hill o' Rou".
