Lindean is a village in north-western Roxburghshire, close to the border with Selkirkshire. It lies north-east of Selkirk and east of the Ettrick Water, which here forms the county border.

The ancient parish of Lindean is now united to that of Galashiels. Its church, disused since 1586, stood north of Bridgelands Road just off the A7 and was the place where the body of William Douglas, the Knight of Liddesdale, lay during the night after his assassination in 1353.
