Midlothian is the names of two areas in Scotland, UK:
- A county on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth
- A landlocked council area.
The county of Midlothian includes the City of Edinburgh. Edinburgh is a council area on its own and so the council area of Midlothian is the area of the county with Edinburgh and some hills in the south cut off.
