The Loch of Kirbister is a small, shallow, somewhat triangular shaped loch on Mainland Orkney, Scotland, in the parish of Orphir. It lies {{convert|5|mi|km|abbr=on}} south west of Kirkwall on cultivated land between two hills. There is a small ({{convert|37|m|ft|abbr=on}} by {{convert|19|m|ft|abbr=on}}) turf covered islet known as the Groundwater of Holm just off the eastern shore of the loch. It shows traces in stone of an oval structure and small projecting pier.[2] The loch is popular for trout fishing and the Orkney Trout Fishing Association has a hatchery at the Kirbister pumphouse [3] on the loch edge.

Mill Burn, the southerly outflow from the loch, was used to power the 18th century Kirbister Mill.[4]

The loch was surveyed[1] in 1903 by T.N. Johnston and R.C. Marshall and later charted [5] as part of Sir John Murray's The Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.[6]
