Dornie is a small former fishing village in the Kintail district in Wester Ross in the Highland Council Area of Scotland near the meeting point of Loch Duich, Loch Alsh and Loch Long. It had a population of 360 in 2006.

The A87, the main road to the Isle of Skye, passes just outside the village. Before the construction of the bridge, the main road passed through the centre of the village and crossed Loch Long via a short ferry ride. Amongst bagpipers, the tune Dornie Ferry is a well-known strathspey.

Eilean Donan is a famous castle on a nearby island.
