Orkney Herald of Arms is a Scottish herald of arms in the Court of the Lord Lyon.[1]

The title is locative in origin, from the Orkney Isles or the creation of the Earls of Orkney. It was probably created in late period.[2]

The badge of office is Two dragons’ heads erased and addorsed their necks entwined Or breathing flames of fire Gules all ensigned of the Crown of Scotland Proper.[3]

The office was last held by Sir Malcolm Innes of Edingight, the former Lord Lyon King of Arms. He was appointed to this post on 9 February 2001. The office became vacant upon his death in September 2020.[4]
