The Golf Hotel is a hotel and restaurant in Crail, Fife, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building dating to the early 18th century,[2] although one source claims it is 16th century.[1]

John Dickson, a sergeant major in the Royal Scots Greys who fought in the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, became a landlord at the establishment when it was known as the Golf Inn.[1] He was the last known Scot involved in the battle when he died, aged 97.[3]
