Inverpolly is the name given to a large area of northern Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, north of Ullapool. The area contains several prominent hills, rising up from a rough landscape of bogs and lochans. From 1961, the area was designated national nature reserve{{cite web |last1=Gittings |first1=Bruce |last2=Munro |first2=David |title=Inverpolly National Nature Reserve |url=https://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst8021.html |website=The Gazetteer for Scotland |publisher=School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh and The Royal Scottish Geographical Society |accessdate=16 August 2022}} but since 2004, the designation has been limited to the area of Knockan Crag. The area supports a large number of high-quality freshwater loch habitats, the majority of which are oligotrophic.{{cite web |title=Inverpolly |url=https://sac.jncc.gov.uk/site/UK0030171 |website=Joint Nature Conservation Committee |access-date=16 August 2022 |location=Peterborough}} Major peaks in the area include Stac Pollaidh, Cul Mòr, Cul Beag.
