Loch Brora (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Bhrùra ) is a loch in the Golspie parish near the east coast of Sutherland in the Highland council area in Northern Scotland. It is located directly south of a small road which links a few miles east with the A9 in Brora from where the loch gets its name.

Besides Brora, the area is also home to the settlements of Kilbraur, Balnacoil, Ascoil, Ardachadh. The settlements of Gordonbush, Oldtown, Killin and Carrol are on the lakefront itself.
