Diabaig (Scottish Gaelic: Dìobaig) is a remote coastal fishing and crofting township in Wester Ross, in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland.[1] Diabaig lies on the north shore of the sea loch of Loch Diabaig, an inlet off the north side of Loch Torridon, and is in the Highland council area.[2]

The main part of the settlement is known as Lower Diabaig. Upper Diabaig is a few houses, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east.[3] The village of Torridon, with its junction with the A896 road, is located 8.6 miles (13.8 km) from Diabaig.
