Fearn (Scottish Gaelic: Manachainn Rois) is a hamlet, situated 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Loch Eye and 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Balintore, in eastern Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands[1][2][3] and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. The buildings in the hamlet are mostly cottages with walls constructed of boulders and clay.[3]

Fearn Abbey was erected in the hamlet in 1238, and rebuilt in 1771 after its roof collapsed in 1742.[3]

The larger village of Hill of Fearn lies directly northeast of the hamlet.

The former RNAS Fearn (HMS Owl) is to the south of the hamlet.
