The '''Dingwall Stone''' is a Class I [[Pictish stones|Pictish stone]] located in [[Dingwall]], [[Easter Ross]], Scotland. It is thought by some to be of [[Bronze Age]] origin, and contains several cup and ring marks alleged to date from that period. If it had been used in the Bronze Age, the [[Picts]] later reused it. On one side it has a [[Crescent (Pictish symbol)|crescent and v-rod]], and on the other a double disc and Z-rod with another two crescents and Z-rods below. It was being used as a [[lintel]] over a doorway in the church when it was identified in 1880.<ref>{{Historic Environment Scotland|cat=PLA|num=12820|num2=NH55NW 7|desc=Dingwall Churchyard|access-date=23 June 2025}}</ref>
