The East Neuk (/iːst njuːk/ ^ⓘ) or East Neuk of Fife is an area of the coast of Fife, Scotland.

The East Neuk of Fife, looking out over the Firth of Forth to East Lothian, with the Bass Rock in the centre

"Neuk" is the Scots word for nook or corner, and the East Neuk is generally accepted to comprise the fishing villages of the most northerly part of the Firth of Forth and the land and villages slightly inland. It would include Elie and Earlsferry, Colinsburgh, St Monans, Pittenweem, Arncroach, Carnbee, Anstruther, Cellardyke, Kilrenny,and the immediate hinterland, as far as the upland area known as the Riggin o Fife.^[1]

The area houses a Cold War era bunker^[2] near Crail. Built in the late 1950s to be a regional seat of government in the event of a nuclear war, it is now a tourist attraction.
