Pictou is a Canadian town in Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

Located on the north shore of Pictou Harbour, the town is approximately 10km north of the larger town of New Glasgow.

Once an active shipping port and the shire town of the county, today Pictou is primarily a local service centre for surrounding rural communities as well as being the primary tourist destination in this region of Nova Scotia.

Its port was the receiving point for many Scottish immigrants moving to a new home in northern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island following the Highland Clearances of the late 1700s and early 1800s. Consequently, the town's slogan is "The Birthplace of New Scotland"; the first wave of immigrants is acknowledged to have arrived on September 15, 1773, on the Hector. Norman McLeod who arrived some years after the Hector from Scotland landed in Pictou but eventually settled in the area of Saint Anne's in Cape Breton of Nova Scotia. He later encouraged his parish to follow him to Waipu, New Zealand where today there still resides many descendants.
