Loch Lubnaig (Loch Lùbnaig in Gaelic) is a small Loch near Callander in the Stirling council area, Scotland. It lies in the former county of Perthshire. It is part of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.

It is around 5km long and has depths of up to 44.5 metres. The Loch nestles in the space between Ben Ledi and Ben Vorlich. Fed by the River Balvaig from the north and drained by the River Leny to the south, Loch Lubnaig offers fishing from the shore while canoes can be rented at the north end. Alternatively, two car parking areas on the east shore offer perfect, albeit sometimes busy, canoe launching points.

The route of the former Callander and Oban Railway runs along the west shore of the loch. This route has now been converted to a part of the National Cycle Network's 'Route 7' allowing cyclists and walkers to travel the 9 miles between Callander and Strathyre.

The name Lubnaig is a Gaelic one, meaning crooked.

Set within the beautiful setting of Loch Lubnaig, close to the pretty town of Callander, the loch has parking as well as the facilities of The Cabin (great food), toilets and it also has camping pitches with bbq facilities. 

The small town of Callander is a great day out and is located at the northern gateway to the Trossachs. Lots of small interesting shops, great places to eat and drink. The McLaren Leisure Centre has a swimming pool, climbing wall and indoor soft play area.
