Aikwood Tower (also known as Oakwood Tower) is a 16th-century tower house in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, {{convert|4|mi}} southwest of the town of Selkirk, on the Ettrick Water. The tower is a Category A listed building.[1]

The tower was built in 1535, but in the late 18th century it was abandoned as a dwelling and was used as a store on the adjoining farm. The building was restored in the 1990s by the Liberal politician Lord Steel, and is now administered by his son Rory and his wife.
