The Loch of Skaill is a small somewhat triangular, freshwater loch in the parish of Sandwick, Orkney on Mainland Orkney, Scotland. It lies {{convert|0.5|mi|km|abbr=on}} south east of the Bay of Skaill close to Skaill House and the World Heritage neolithic site Skara Brae.[2]

The loch is popular for trout fishing and is reserved for use by members of The Orkney Trout Fishing Association only.[3] The average size of the trout caught in the loch is {{convert|2|lb|kg}}.

The loch was surveyed in 1906 by James Murray[4] and later charted[5] as part of The Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.[6] A small burn at the north western shore drains the loch in to the Bay of Skaill and was noted in the Survey that it was used as a mill stream.[4]
