Kilbride Castle, possibly also known as Comyn's Castle, was a castle that was located in the parish of East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The earliest castle of Kilbride was owned by the de Valognes family until the manorial estate passed by marriage of Isabel de Valognes to David Comyn in the 13th century. After the Comyns' lands were confiscated by King Robert I of Scotland, the lands of Kilbride were granted to Walter Stewart. King Robert II of Scotland granted the lands to John Lindsay of Dunrod in 1382.
The suggestion that the Laigh Mains Motte behind Mains Castle represents the older Kilbride Castle is unevidenced, but it was certainly the site of the Comyn's Castle. Mains Castle was constructed a short distance south of the site of the Comyn Castle in the mid-15th century.
