Loch Quoich (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Chuaich) is a loch and reservoir situated west of Loch Garry approximately 40km northwest of Fort William, Lochaber, Scotland.

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 320m long and 38m high. The scheme was completed in 1962.
