Kilbarchan (; Scottish Gaelic: Cill Bhearchain) is a village and civil parish in central Renfrewshire, in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. It is almost contiguous with Johnstone, about 5 miles or 8 km west of the centre of Paisley. The village's name means "cell (chapel) of St. Barchan". It is known for its former weaving industry.

A preserved weaver's cottage from 1723 can be visited. It is run by the National Trust for Scotland

The garden contains botanical specimens which would have used to make natural dyes for the weaver's use.

These include madder and woad.
