Tullichewan is a former estate in the Vale of Leven, near Loch Lomond, Scotland. Tullichewan Castle was built in 1792 and demolished in 1954. It was located on the western edge of Alexandria, close to the present route of the A82.

Tullichewan Castle was designed in 1792 by architect Robert Lugar, who also designed Balloch Castle. It is the first example in Scotland of an asymmetrical Gothic house. The estate was sold to William Campbell of J & W Campbell, Glasgow merchants and remained in the Campbell family until the twentieth century.
