Loch Quoich (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Chuaich) is a loch and reservoir situated west of Loch Garry approximately 40k m northwest of Fort William, Lochaber, Scotland. The name means "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 dam on Loch Quoich is the largest rockfill dam in Scotland at 320 m long and 38 m high. The scheme was completed in 1962.
