Berwickshire is a traditional county of Scotland, on the border with England. The area is now administratively part of the Scottish Borders (see Subdivisions of Scotland).

The name Berwickshire is retained as a Lieutenancy Area. Its traditional county town, for which it is named, had been Berwick-upon-Tweed but that is now considered to be part of the English county of Northumberland.

Places in Berwickshire include Coldstream, Duns, Eyemouth, Lauder and Greenlaw.
