Macedonia is a precinct in Glenrothes, Scotland. Macedonia lies just south of the River Leven and one mile (1.6 km) west of the Kingdom Shopping Centre. According to the 2011 census the data zones of Macedonia West, Macedonia East and Macedonia North have a combined population of 2,021.

Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation figures from 2020 indicate that Macedonia falls within the 10–20% most deprived communities in Scotland.
