The Pigsty is a folly located next to Fyling Hall School, near Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, England. A wooden building, it was once a functioning home for pigs but is now operated by the Landmark Trust.

The date of the building is uncertain – it seemed to have been completed in 1891, but alterations may have been made as late as 1906. The folly was designed by the local Squire and Justice of the Peace, John Warren Barry (1851-1920), who was attracted to Mediterranean buildings. His book "Studies in Corsica: Sylvan and Social", published in 1893, has recently been reissued in paperback.
