Scoraig (Scottish Gaelic: Sgoraig) is a settlement located on a remote peninsula between Little Loch Broom and Loch Broom, north-west of Ullapool in Ross and Cromarty, Highland, Scotland.

The 1871 census recorded more than 380 Gaelic-speaking inhabitants of Scoraig. Today it is known for its remoteness (reachable only by boat or about five miles' walk),[1][2] its somewhat "alternative" atmosphere,[3] organic food production, and its pioneering use of wind power.

There is a primary school, which in 2015 had five pupils,[4] and in 2018, seven.[1] Most children over the age of 14 go to Ullapool High School,[5] which because of the distance requires living there at least during the week.[1] There is postal service three times a week, and a sea-ferry and a community boat serve the settlement in addition to private boats.[1]
