Duart Castle is a castle on the west coast of Scotland, located on the Isle of Mull, within the council area of Argyll and Bute. The castle dates back to the 13th century. In 1691 the castle was surrendered to the Duke of Argyll and then abandoned in 1751. During the 20th century the castle has been restored, having been bought in 1911 by Sir Fitzroy Donald Maclean, the 26th Chief of the Clan MacLean.

Duart castle is the historical base for the MacLean clan whose recorded history goes back as far as 1367[1].

The castle was used as a location in the 1999 film Entrapment starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
