Kirkibost () is a low-lying island west of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
==Geography== Kirkibost, along with neighbouring Baleshare, is covered by a machair system of coastal plains covered with shell sand, part covered by grass, with some sand dunes, fens and peat. Together with Baleshare, it forms part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The small islands of Eilean Mòr, Bior-eilean and Sròmaigh lie between Kirkibost and North Uist.
