White Meldon is a prehistoric site, a hillfort near the village of Lyne and about 4miles west of Peebles, in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. It is a Scheduled Monument.

Inside this area, the remains of at least 29 round-houses have been discerned, some of which are well-defined platforms.
There are fragments of an outermost rampart, which may not have been finished. The fort may have been built in stages, expanding from the innermost defence, the incomplete outer defence being the last stage; but the sequence of building has not been definitely established.
