Claverhouse is a residential area located on the northern outskirts of Dundee, Scotland with the city centre located 2 miles (3.2 km) from the area.
Claverhouse is primarily an affluent residential area and is one of the wealthier areas in Dundee alongside Broughty Ferry and the West End of Dundee. The area is surrounded by natural parkland, reservoirs and a burn and is a popular area for golf and equestrianism.

The Dighty Burn runs past Claverhouse from the west underneath a bridge and continues to flow to the east. Located near to Claverhouse is Mains Castle and Caird Park as well as the A90 road northbound to Aberdeen through Forfar Road.
Up north from the area is the nearby Barns of Claverhouse, where local farmhouses and animals are located. It is accessible from Barns of Claverhouse Road and through the pathway into and past the Emmock Woods housing community.
