}}Harlosh Island is an island in Loch Bracadale just off the coast of the Minginish and Harlosh peninsulas of Skye in Scotland.[2][3]

The island is about {{convert|28|ha|acre}} in extent and the coastline, which is largely cliff-lined, has a cave on the west coast. At low tide it is only about {{convert|100|m|ft}} from mainland Skye. Harlosh Skerry lies just offshore to the north west. At low tide on the northern coast there is a large sand bay, however, watercraft should take caution when attempting to land in the bay as several rock formations pose a navigational hazard at low tide.

The name "Harlosh" is of Old Norse origin and may refer to a river mouth, although the meaning is not clear.[4]
