Cromartyshire ( Scottish Gaelic: Siorrachd Chromba ) was a county in the Highlands of Scotland, which was characterized by a strong geographical fragmentation.

The core of the county was the area surrounding the town of Cromarty in the north of the Black Isle. There were also a number of enclaves within the county of Ross -shire, especially the districts to Ullapool and Little Loch Broom on the coast of the Minch and the territory of Ben Wyvis and a strip north of Loch Fannich.
