Balnakeil is a hamlet in the parish of Durness, Sutherland,[1] Scottish Highlands, and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. It is on the north coast of Scotland around 3⁄4 mile (1.2 kilometres) northwest of Durness. The ruin of Balnakeil Church is a scheduled monument. The Kyle of Durness is west of Balnakeil which gives its name to the two-mile-wide (three-kilometre) Balnakeil Bay which the Kyle opens into.[2]

The peninsula of Faraid Head is to the north of Balnakeil. It was the site of a 1950s radar station and remains the range control for Ministry of Defence bombing operations in the Cape Wrath Training Area to the west.[3]

Three small lochs are to the south of Balnakeil: Loch Croispol, Loch Borralie and Loch Caladail. Durness Golf Course is to the southwest.[4]
