Croy and Dalcross is a parish (sometimes named Crow in the 19th century) located on the border of Inverness-shire and Nairnshire in northern Scotland. The parish united the earlier separate parishes of Croy and Dalcross which existed in the pre-reformation period (end of 15th century). The Gazetteer for Scotland provides a map of the joint parish in its surroundings. The parish is now in the Highland Council Area.

In addition to the village of Croy, the parish includes the settlements of Dalroy, Cantraywood and Clephanton. It has an area of 28.2 sq. miles (73.2 sq. km).

For a 19th century description of the parish, see the description from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) as transcribed and copyrighted by Colin Hinson and provided on the web by GENUKI.
