Foveran (Scottish Gaelic: Fobharan) is the name of both a parish and village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The village is located 11 miles north of Aberdeen and four miles southeast of Ellon; the main group of houses and the village school are located adjacent to the main A90 trunk road.

The hereditary baronetcy of Foveran is held by the Turing family (see Turing Baronets). The cryptographer and computing pioneer Alan Turing (1912–1954) was uncle to the present Baronet, Sir John Dermot Turing.
