Aultbea ist eine kleine Ortschaft in der schottischen Region Highland. Die Ortschaft liegt direkt am Ufer des Loch Ewe, über welches sie direkt mit dem offenen Meer verbunden ist, gegenüber der Isle of Ewe. Poolewe liegt etwa 13 km südlich, Ullapool etwa 22 km östlich.

Während der beiden Weltkriege wurde Aultbea als geschützter Hafen genutzt; im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden dort Konvois für die Überfahrt nach Russland durch den Arktischen Ozean zusammengestellt. Seit Kriegsende nutzt die Marine den Hafen zum Betanken ihrer Schiffe.[1]

Seit 2004 ist Aultbea der Standort der kleinen Whiskybrennerei Loch Ewe.[2]
