Buchanhaven is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, dating to around 1739. It is one mile north of Peterhead town centre, and near to the mouth of the River Ugie. It has its own school, Buchanhaven Primary School, which caters for children in Buchanhaven and the nearby Waterside estate. It is also the home of Buchanhaven Hearts F.C.

Originally "a good distance from Peterhead",[1] the village was extended, by the feuing of two streets,[2] by James Ferguson, the third Laird of Pitfour, in 1796.[3]
