Allanaquoich is a locality on Mar Lodge Estate, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Allanaquoich is little more than a farm house now although it once could have been described as a hamlet. It is located [http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=312065&y=791400&z=4&sv=312065,791400&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&ax=312065&ay=791400 (streetmap)] on a slight rise to the East of the Quoich Water.

A table in Dixon & Green (1995) shows the number of tenants at Allanaquoich being reduced as part of the Highland Clearances from 18 tenants in 1739 to just 1 by 1810 as a result.
