Craighouse (Scottish Gaelic: Taigh na Creige) is the main settlement on the Scottish Inner Hebridean Isle of Jura, in Argyll and Bute. The village is situated on the sheltered east coast of the island at the southern end of Small Isles Bay.

Craighouse was once served by a direct ferry from the mainland which berthed at Craighouse pier. This service was terminated some years ago, and access is now via an 8 miles (13 km) single-track road from Feolin on Jura's south west coast, where there is a small vehicle ferry to the neighbouring island of Islay. However, since 2007 a passengers-only ferry service to Craighouse has operated during the summer from the village of Tayvallich on the mainland.
