Crowdie (, ) is a type of soft, fresh cheese made from cows' milk, traditionally from Scotland.

The cheese was traditionally made for domestic use by crofters and smallholders in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, and in the Orkney Islands, using milk from the family cow. Its origins date as far back as the Viking era and possibly even earlier to the time of the Picts.
