Elvingston House, near Gladsmuir in East Lothian, Scotland, is a historic country house associated with the area's landed estates and agricultural heritage. The property reflects the tradition of Scottish country-house living, when substantial residences were surrounded by farmland, gardens and estate buildings.

The present mansion was designed by Edinburgh architect John Tait in 1837 for the Ainslie family, replacing an earlier 16th-century house.

Built in the Jacobean-Baronial style, it features distinctive turrets, ornate plasterwork and an impressive stable courtyard. The Ainslies owned the estate until 1944, when it was purchased by Sir David Lowe, a prominent agriculturalist who became known for cultivating rare varieties of daffodils.
