Muckhart () commonly refers to two small villages in Clackmannanshire, Scotland, Pool of Muckhart () and '''Yetts o' Muckhart'. Muckhart is one of the Hillfoots Villages, situated on the A91 around northeast of Dollar. The Gaelic name, Muc-àird, comes from muc ("pig") + àird'' ("height"), and may derive from the fact that the surrounding fields may once have been used for pig farming.
Previously Muckhart, together with Glendevon, formed the southernmost tip of Perthshire. It was transferred to Clackmannanshire in a reorganisation of boundaries in 1971.
