|dial_code=Achduart (Gaelic: Achadh Dhubhaird[1]) is a small hamlet in Coigach, in Wester Ross in northwestern Scotland, now within the Highland council area.[1][2] It is situated about 4 km southeast of the village of Achiltibuie, at the end of a minor road. A footpath continues on to the hamlet of Culnacraig, then along the coast past Ben More Coigach to Strathcanaird.[3]

Achduart has accommodation facilities for tourists, who come for its proximity to the ocean as well as its seclusion and remoteness. There is a Scottish Youth Hostels Association hostel in Acheninver, a short distance to the north.

The name of Achduart comes from the Gaelic for "the field at the black headland".[4] Achduart was part of the Estate of Coigach, Lochbroom, belonging to the Countess of Cromartie.[5]

The dominant geographical feature in the area is Cairn Conmheall, which rises to 541 metres.
