Menstrie (Scottish Gaelic: ) is a village in the county of Clackmannanshire in Scotland. It is about east-northeast of Stirling and is one of a string of towns that, because of their location at the foothill base of the Ochil Hills, are collectively referred to as the Hillfoots Villages or simply The Hillfoots.

The parish of Logie (including Menstrie) was in Stirlingshire until 1891. Therefore all the Old Parish Registers, civil registrations to 1890, and the first three censuses are filed under Stirlingshire, but events after that date are filed under Clackmannanshire.
