Lingay is an unpopulated islet in the Outer Hebrides to the south of Barra. It lies towards the southern end of the chain of islands, just north of Rosinish and three miles south of Vatersay. There is a cave on the south-east side of the island.
The name 'Lingay' is from the Norse for 'Heather island'.
