Coylet is a hamlet on Loch Eck, Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute, in West Scotland.[1]

The hamlet is within the Argyll Forest Park, which is itself within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. It developed around the Coylet Inn, a coaching inn on the A815 road that leads to Dunoon, the main town on the peninsula.

The name may be derived from Gaelic caol ait, "narrow place".[2]
