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

Today it is known for its remoteness (reachable only by boat or about five miles' walk), its somewhat "alternative" atmosphere, organic food production, and its pioneering use of wind power.

There is a primary school, which as of September 2015^[update] provides education to five pupils. Most children over the age of 14 go to Ullapool school, to which they either commute weekly, stay in the school's hostel accommodation, or their parent(s) move house at this point to provide them with a secondary education.
