Loch Rusky is a small freshwater loch near Callander in the Stirling council area in Scottish Highlands. It lies in the former county of Perthshire.

The loch lies to the east of the Mentieth Hills, about 6 km northeast of the Port of Menteith. The Torrie Forest extends over Lennieston Muir to the east.

The name Rusky derives from the Gaelic Loch an Rusgaidh, meaning "Lake of the Peeling".[1]
