Fiskavaig or Fiscavaig () is a picturesque crofting settlement on the north-west shore of the Minginish peninsula, Isle of Skye in the Highland Council area. thumb|The remains of a stone pier at Fiskavaig Bay where Fiskavaig Burn enters the bay. The township extends westward around the coast some 2.5 miles from Ardtreck in the east, originally however Fiskavaig was a small hamlet centred on the west side of Fiskavaig Bay, (where Fiskavaig Burn enters), at which the remains of several houses can still be seen. These appear to have been inhabited up until the end of the 19th century, and the remains of a small stone pier is still evident.
