Loch Torridon (Scottish Gaelic: “Loch Thoirbheartan”) is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland in the Northwest Highlands. Torridon village lies at the head of the loch and is surrounded by the spectacular Torridon Hills.

The loch is a glacial sea loch around 15 miles (25 km) long. To the north are the villages of Redpoint, Craig, Diabeg (Where the film Loch Ness was filmed), Wester Alligin and Alligin Shuas. To the south is Shieldaig.

Loch Torridon is an important prawn and shellfish fishery and the Loch itself is also home to several salmon farms and industrial mussel production.
