Loch Bad an Sgalaig is a small, irregular shaped, freshwater loch and reservoir lying 5 mi (8.0 km) south of the small village of Poolewe, in Wester Ross, Scotland.

The north west end of the loch, where it outflows to the Eas na Laimh stream,^[4] was dammed in 1949 to power the Kerry Falls hydroelectric power station.^[5]

The loch was surveyed on 30 July 1902^[2] by T.N. Johnston and John Hewitt and later charted^[6] as part of the Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
