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. Today, it is an inn and restaurant.
The business came under new management in September 2018.
