Weem (Scottish Gaelic: Uamh) is a village on the B846 near Aberfeldy in Perthshire, Scotland. The name Weem is derived from the Gaelic "Uaimh" meaning Cave.

Nearby is the 16th century Castle Menzies, where Bonnie Prince Charlie spent two nights on his way to the Battle of Culloden in 1746.

The Old Parish Church of Weem, of medieval origin, contains the funerary monuments of the Menzies family going back to the 16th century, and the heraldic hatchments carried at their funerals. Key from neighbouring cottage.

There are two pubs in Weem, the Ailean Chraggan and the Weem Hotel.
