Lochaber Camanachd is a shinty club based in Spean Bridge, Lochaber. The club was formed in 1946 from Brae Lochaber (formed 1887) and Spean Bridge (formed 1894). The constituent clubs then split between 1949 and 1958 before amalgamating again in 1958.

These two clubs were very prominent in the first days of organised shinty. Brae won the MacTavish Cup thrice in the 1920s. The club became a strong force in shinty again in the early 2000s, knocking out Kingussie from the Camanachd Cup quarter finals in 2004 and gaining promotion to the Premier Division the same year.
Lochaber currently compete in the Mowi National with a reserve team in North 2, whilst the women’s section field teams in the Mowi Premiership and the North Division. 2024 saw the Spean Bridge outfit lift their second Mowi VF Camanachd Cup.
