The Hebrides are the largest archipelago in the United Kingdom, located off the west coast of Scotland and divided into two main groups—the Inner and Outer Hebrides—based on their distance from the mainland.

Die Hebriden (englisch: Hebrides [ˈhebrɪdiːz], schottisch-gälisch na h-Innse Gall, altnordisch Suðreyjar) sind eine Inselgruppe, bis zu 50 Kilometer vor der Nordwestküste Schottlands gelegen. Der Archipel teilt sich morphologisch wie politisch in die Äußeren Hebriden (auch bekannt als Western Isles) und die Inneren Hebriden, getrennt durch den Little Minch und den North Minch sowie die Barrapassage.
