thumb|The River Spey at Kincraig thumb|Creag Mhigeachaidh from Kincraig Kincraig () is a village located north of Kingussie and south of Aviemore in Highland, Scotland. Its original name was Boat of Inch, reflecting the ferry boat crossing of the Spey River that once operated here but the name was changed after a single track bridge was erected in 1871.
The village lies at the side of the former A9, the B9152, and close to the current dual carriageway, which was upgraded in 2017 as part of the A9 dualling project. It is close to Loch Insh which is fed from and drains into the river Spey. It has a pub and village hall but Kincraig Stores and Post Office which traded continuously for 120 years closed in July 2016. It was reopened in June 2019 as 'Old Post Office Cafe Gallery'. The main Perth to Inverness railway passes through, although the station closed in 1965.
