Carpow is a diffuse hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is situated immediately to the east of the confluence of the River Tay and River Earn, 2 km north east of Abernethy.[1]

Carpow is most notable for its archaeological remains. It was the site of a Roman fort. An early medieval Picto-Scottish cross fragment once formed part the lintel of a well at Carpow House.[2]
