Iain Mac Fhearchair (John MacCodrum) (1693–1779) was a Gaelic poet from North Uist.

Later in his life, he served as the official poet to Sir James MacDonald of Sleat.[1] One of his close friends was another famous Gaelic poet Alasdair mac Mhaighstir Alasdair. One of his most popular songs is "Smeòrach Chlann Dòmhnaill" (Mavis of Clan Donald).
