Lochcarron () is a village, community and civil parish in the Wester Ross area of Highland, Scotland. It has a population of 923.
== History == The land of Lochcarron was formerly in the hands of clan Macdonald of Glengarry. The land then fell into the hands of Seaforth Lord Kintail in the early 1600s. The first Presbyterian minister settled in 1726, and found his life often in danger due to the conflict he faced by the locals.
