The Gadloch (also colloquially referred to as Lenzie Loch) is a fresh water loch in North Lanarkshire, situated near the town of Lenzie, Scotland.[2]

To the south of the loch is the small village of Auchinloch.[2] The village's name means "Field of the Loch" in Scottish Gaelic, and derives from its proximity to the Gadloch.
