Wothorpe Towers are the remains of Wothorpe Hall (also known as Wothorpe Lodge), a late-Elizabethan, early-Jacobean country house in Wothorpe, Cambridgeshire, England. Built for the Cecil family in the early 1600s, the house was occupied for 150 years before it was partially demolished, with only the towers and outer walls surviving. Both are Grade I-listed structures with English Heritage. Wothorpe House has been undergoing renovation since the early 21st century; the ruined towers are a Scheduled Ancient Monument and are being preserved.

Wothorpe Towers is about two miles from the town of Stamford, Lincolnshire, and a mile from Burghley House.
