Loch Katrine is a freshwater loch in the district of Stirling, Scotland. It is roughly 13 kilometres long by 1 kilometre wide.

Loch Katrine is owned by Scottish Water and is the primary water reservoir for much of the city of Glasgow and its surrounding areas. It is supplied to Milngavie water treatment works via a 26 mile long aqueduct, and can deliver up to 50,000,000 gallons a day. Construction was started in 1855 and the works was opened by Queen Victoria in 1859. The aqueduct project was built under the guidance of James Watt and Thomas Telford, an example of their engineering prowess that can still be seen working today.

The lake of Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake is Loch Katrine.
Robert Roy MacGregor was born at the head of the loch.}
