Loch Killin is a small freshwater loch in the Monadhliath Mountains, in Highland, Scotland. It is about 1.2 miles long, and is one of numerous small lochs close to the southern end of Loch Ness, the southernmost point of which lies nine miles to the west.
The waters of Loch Killin are home to the Haddy charr (Salvelinus killinensis), a species of char named after this loch. It is endemic to this lake as well as Loch Doine, and possibly Loch Builg.
The Royal Navy frigate HMS Loch Killin was named after the loch.
