Badachro (, meaning "the copse of the pen") is a former fishing village, in the northwest Highlands of Scotland.
== Geography == Badachro sits about 3 km south of Gairloch on the shore of Gair Loch, and is a natural harbour popular with yachts. The Fairy Lochs lie approximately to the south-east, and are the site of a 1945 plane crash which is now a designated war grave. The crash site has been preserved as a memorial to the USAAF servicemen who lost their lives in the accident and is accessible by a rough track near the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel.
