Lodberrie is a historic townhouse located in Lerwick, the capital of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is one of the oldest buildings in Lerwick and is now a popular tourist attraction. The house is famous for its unique architecture and its association with the Shetland detective series, "Shetland."

Lodberrie was built in the early 17th century by a wealthy merchant named John Robertson. The house was originally used as a warehouse, but it was later converted into a residence. Lodberrie is a fine example of traditional Shetland architecture, with its harled stone walls and crow-stepped gables.
