Looking south-west to Sgurr Mòr in the distance

Loch Quoich is a loch and reservoir in Inverness-shire, situated west of Loch Garry approximately 25 miles north-west of Fort William. The name is from the Gaelic Loch Chuaich, meaning "loch of the cup/quaich".

Both lochs form part of the Glen Garry hydroelectricity project commissioned by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board in the 1950s.

The scheme was completed in 1962.
