Claonaig ({{langx|gd|Claonaig}}, {{IPA|gd|ˈkʰl̪ˠɯːnɛkʲ|pron}}) is a hamlet on the east coast of the Kintyre peninsula in western Scotland, linked to Lochranza on the Isle of Arran by the CalMac ferry {{MV|Catriona}} in the summer months.

Claonaig is a hamlet {{convert|1|mi|km|0|abbr=off}} south of Skipness, and is the location of the slipway for the seasonal ferry for Arran. The ferry terminal has a small car park, public toilets, and a bus stop for the West Coast Motors 448 bus service from Skipness to Lochgilphead via Kennacraig, Tarbert and Ardrishaig. The nearest sizeable villages are Tarbert, Skipness and Carradale.{{citation |url=http://argyll.org/kintyre/claonaig/index.php |title=Claonaig |publisher=Argyll.org |accessdate=4 June 2014}}{{citation |url=http://ports.org.uk/port.asp?id=376 |title=Claonaig|publisher=ports.org.uk |accessdate=20 February 2017}} From Claonaig, Tarbert is {{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=on}} away via the minor B8001 road and the A83. To the south, Campbeltown can be reached in {{convert|28|mi|km|abbr=on}} via the B842 coast road or via the B8001 and the A83 which runs down the west coast of Kintyre ({{convert|36|mi|km|disp=or|abbr=on}}).

A church was built in Claonaig in 1756. The current Parish Church, built in the late-18th or early-19th century, may incorporate some of its fabric. Its western gable has a bell-cot. It has been converted to a house.{{citation |url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/85303/claonaig-skipness-parish-church |title=Claonaig, Skipness Parish Church |publisher=Canmore |accessdate=22 February 2017}}
