The Band from Rockall is a duo and solo project of Runrig songwriters Calum and Rory Macdonald. It is also the title of their debut self-titled bilingual album in English and Gaelic The Band from Rockall (long title being The Band from Rockall: The Solo Project from Calum and Rory Macdonald).

The duo's name comes from Rockall, a remote rocky uninhabited islet in the North Atlantic Ocean, lying 300 miles west of the Scottish mainland. This was chosen by the brothers as a point 'half-way' between their native North Uist and the United States, representing both the Gaelic tradition and the Rock and Roll influence on their music.
