Loch Awe is a small loch, located 4 miles south of Loch Assynt and the village of Ledmore within the Assynt area of Sutherland, Scotland. The loch is located in an area along with neighbouring Coigach, as the Assynt-Coigach National Scenic Area, one of 40 such areas in Scotland.

Immediately south and west of the loch is a circular cairn at Cnoc Bad Na Cleithe. The first cairn measures 6 to 7 foot high and measures 63 feet on a north-south bearing at the base, by 70 feet. They were surveyed in 11 June 1909 and there is no sign of a cist or chamber.
