Loch Dornal is an irregular shaped, shallow, freshwater loch in Strathclyde, in the Southern Uplands of south-west Scotland. It lies approximately 8 mi (13 km) northwest of the town of Newton Stewart.
There are several islets in the loch some of which contain archaeological features.
The loch is stocked with rainbow trout and fishing is permitted with permission from Drumlamford Estate.
The loch was surveyed in 1903 by James Murray and later charted as part of Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
