Achnasheen (Gaelic "Achadh na Sine") is a small village in Ross-shire in the Highland council area of Scotland. Despite the size of the village, Achnasheen is also the name of a postal district which covers several much larger communities. This dates from the time when the village railway station was an important stop on the Kyle of Lochalsh Line, serving a large area of Wester Ross. The railway still operates but all freight and mail, and most passengers, now travel by road.

Facilities in the village are limited. There is a part time post office. The [http://www.ledgowanlodge.co.uk Ledgowan Lodge Hotel] is a mile west of the village, but the Achnasheen Hotel (by the railway station) burnt down in the early 1990s and has never been rebuilt.
