The Pitsligo Press was a printing press founded in 1852 by Scottish Episcopal priest and scholar George Hay Forbes (1821–1875) in Burntisland, Scotland. It published sermons, periodicals, patristic texts, liturgical material, and used fonts in Latin types, as well as Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Ethiopic and Armenian.

After Forbes's death in 1875, the press moved to Edinburgh under the direction of the Rev. Walter Bell (died 1892), Honorary Canon of Cumbrae.
