Dalrymple is a village and parish in Ayrshire, Scotland, lying in the Doon Valley, on the north bank of the River Doon. The population is 1,347.

The name Dalrymple comes from Gaelic meaning "flat field of the crooked pool or river". The village is relatively modern, although the parish and church of Dalrymple are older. When the community was first established around 1800, there were two streets, Main Street and Garden Street. The village grew slowly until the late 20th century, when council housing was built to house families from coal-mining villages in the area that were suffering an economic decline.

It has about 1,000 houses. There are two pubs, a hairdresser, shops, a chemist and post office. There is also a primary school and community library. The village is in the catchment area for schools in Ayr, Maybole and Dalmellington. The town of Ayr is six miles north of Dalrymple by road.
