Arduaine (, pronounced "Ar-DOO-nee") is a Scottish coastal hamlet located on the A816 about 20 miles south of Oban and 18 miles north of Lochgilphead. It is in the council area of Argyll and Bute, at the southern boundary of the civil parish of Kilmelford and Kilninver, and comprises about two dozen houses, a hotel and restaurant, and a botanical garden.
The settlement was originally named Asknish, but tea planter J. Arthur Campbell was required to change the name when he bought the estate in 1897 (the previous owners of the estate then started using the name Asknish for the Lochgair mansion house that their predecessors had built in the late 18th century).
