Bracadale (Scottish Gaelic: Bracadal) is a settlement and parish on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It lies on the west coast of the island, west-south-west of Portree, on Loch Beag, an inlet off Loch Harport. Nearby settlements include Struan to the west and Coillore on the opposite shore of Loch Beag.

The name could derive from the Old Norse for "juniper dale"^[1] or "bracken dale"; or indeed from the Scottish Gaelic breac and dail, meaning spotted valley, or valley of the trout/salmon.
