Forthill is a cricket ground in Dundee, Scotland. The first recorded match held on the ground came in 1911 when Fofarshire Cricket Club played Essex during the English counties tour of Scotland. Scotland first used the ground in 1913 when they played Northamptonshire. The ground held its inaugural first-class match in 1924 when Scotland played Ireland. The touring Indians played Scotland in a first-class match there in 1932. Almost twenty years elapsed before first-class cricket returned to Forthill, with Scotland playing Worcestershire in 1951. The ground later played host to the touring New Zealanders in 1978 and Ireland in 1992, before hosting its final first-class match when Scotland played the South Africa Academy. Throughout the twentieth century the ground hosted several touring teams, though the matches were not rated as first-class.
The ground is still in use today be Forfarshire Cricket Club.
