Corf Warehouse is a Category A listed building in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Dating to 1765, it stands in Shorehead, on the western side of Portsoy harbour. The harbour itself is also Category A listed, dating to 1692. Corf is a Scottish word for salmon.
The building was designed by John Adam, and is a narrow, rectangular, four-storey structure with seven bays. Its ground-floor masonry features material from an earlier salmon-house, documented as 'Lord Findlater's Corf House'.
Historic Scotland assessed the building in a group containing 10 Shorehead, the adjacent Old Co-Operative Grain Store and the harbour.
The warehouse was one of six buildings in the harbour owned by Tom Burnett-Stuart. When he died, in January 2020, he left the buildings in the care of North East Scotland Preservation Trust (NESPT).
As of 2025, the building is home to Portsoy Marble.
