Strathspey (Scottish Gaelic: Srath Spè) is the area around the strath of the River Spey, Scotland, in both the Moray council area and the Badenoch and Strathspey committee area of Highland Council Area.

It is also one of the main centres of the Scotch whisky industry, with a high concentration of single malt distilleries in the region, including the Glenfiddich distillery and the Balvenie distillery. The term Strathspey usually refers to the upper part of the strath from the source of the Spey down to Grantown-on-Spey, whereas the Anglicised form, Speyside, refers to the whole area down to the mouth of the river at Spey Bay.
