Watten (Scottish Gaelic: Bhatan) is a small village in Caithness, in the Highland area of Scotland, on the main road (A882-A9) between the burgh of Wick and the town of Thurso, about twelve kilometres (eight miles) west of Wick and close to Wick River and to Loch Watten.

Loch Watten is the largest body of water in Caithness.

The local public house is also named "The Brown Trout" after the local produce.
