Foveran ({{lang-gd|Fobharan}}) is the name of both a parish and village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1][2] 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 origin of the place-name is from the Scottish Gaelic word fuaran indicating a place with a little spring and appears as Furene in c. 1150.[3]

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.
