The Wolf Burn is a small stream, running from a suspect subterranean source behind the Ormlie housing estate in Thurso, Caithness. Its issue is by Burnside, Caithness. A ribble of stones represents the Wolf Burn Distillery which operated for a number of decades around the mid 19th Century.

Few historical records exist, although the distillery is thought to have been owned by a William Smith, and is known to have been present on the first Ordnance Survey map of the region in 1872. It is thought to have been abandoned by 1877.
