Loch Chon is a freshwater loch in the Argyll region of Western Scotland, a little upstream from Loch Ard in the Balmacara Hills. Just to the south is the small hamlet of Kinlochard at the northern end of Loch Ard, and beyond the northern end of Loch Chon is Stronachlachar. The B829 Aberfoyle to Inversnaid road runs up the eastern side of the loch.

Loch Chon is surrounded by the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which stretches east from Loch Lomond to Strathyre over mountains and hills, and in the middle is Heron Island. Near the southern end are the narrows of Linne Dhubh and Ceann Mòr. Loch Chon is popular for bank fishing for brown trout, perch and pike. Fishing is by permit only, available at the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park Visitors Centre. Kayaking is also possible on the loch. Within the area are numerous places offering self catering holiday cottages, such as Frenich Farm.
