Abernethy is a village and former burgh in the Perth and Kinross council area and historic county of Perthshire, in the east central Lowlands of Scotland.

Situated 8 miles (13 km) south-east of the city of Perth in the area of Strathearn, Abernethy is notable for its Pictish history and mediaeval round tower. The traditional civil parish of Abernethy also contains the nearby settlement of Aberargie and traditionally extends to Mugdrum Island in the Firth of Tay.
