Gauldry, locally sometimes The Gauldry, is a village in the north of Fife, close to the shore of the Firth of Tay and two miles south-west of Newport on Tay. It is a mile south-east of Balmerino, and half a mile south of Bottomcraig.

The name of the village derives from the name 'gallow raw', the row of houses leading towards the gallows on Gallowhill to the east.

The village is home to Balmerino Primary School and the Morison Duncan Hall.
