Berwickshire is a committee area of the Scottish Borders Council and a Lieutenancy area of Scotland, on the border with England.

Berwickshire was formerly one of the ancient traditional county, but was abolished in 1975. From 1975 until 1996 Berwickshire was a District Council within the former Borders Regional Council.

Its traditional county town, after which it is named, had been Berwick-upon-Tweed, but the town changed hands in 1482 and has been part of the county of Northumberland, in England, ever since. Berwickshire was sometimes unofficially called Duns-shire because of this anomaly.

Places in Berwickshire include Coldstream, Duns, Eyemouth, Earlston, Lauder, Swinton, Foulden, and Greenlaw.
