Kinwarton Dovecote is circular 14th-century dovecote in the hamlet of Kinwarton, just outside Alcester, in Warwickshire. It stands on the north bank of the River Avon.
The dovecote is in the ownership of the National Trust.
The building is still frequented by doves and pigeons to this day and maintained as such, though these days the doves are not taken for the pot, which is the dovecote’s original purpose. Inside is a noted "potence" (a pivoted ladder) which provides access to the nesting boxes.
