Greenlaw is a small town in the Borders of Scotland. It was for a time the county town of Berwickshire. It is situated in the foothills of the Lammermuir Hills on Blackadder Water. The town takes its name from the 'green law' which is a nearby hill.

Greenlaw's impressive town hall, completed in 1831, is a listed building from its county town era and was one of the buildings shortlisted in the 2006 BBC television series Restoration Village.
