Belnahua is one of the Slate Islands, west of Argyll in Scotland. It lies north west of Luing and was known for its slate quarries. Although it once had a population of nearly 200 people, it has been uninhabited since World War I.

A quiet home for local wildlife, the island is occasionally a stop off for local fisher folk and tourists. A water filled deep excavation lies inland and the remains of slate walled cottages and industrial buildings still remain.
